Cracking start then just got lazy on 5 and was doing it right but convinced myself i was at the control site too early and then got a bit headless losing 2min. Then left control totally wrong giving myself a massive extra climb to 6. 90sec gone. Here Dag caught me and we went hard running up a steep hill to 7 round the crag into re-entrant to swear as there was no control ran about and was sure control should be there with open spur above but was lower down controller and jury said it was in the right place so nothing can be done but sure this argument isn't over. Anyway after that was a little shaky in green but went hard in open caught up duncan (here sole of my shoe partially came off which was annoying they were a bit old so should have worn new ones won't make this mistake again) and pushed hard on slope legs then my hill inability showed when dag and duncan pulled 30seconds on dead running up to 15 jamie beating me by a min! Had a clean section and caught them back up then another mess up running too far down to 19. Lost about 35seconds. One of my favourite areas I have run on I think I love this sort of rough technical terrain. Dag won just ahead of a cracking run by peter by himself with tom 3 seconds ahead of myself who also couldn't find 7. 3rd overall and very confident I have done enough for JWOC which ultimately is my main aim this year.

3 - Splits

No. 1 -2:40 game over, wandering round some green/white stuff poor relocation caught up by Will. Clawed it back a bit with some good stuff on rest of course. I thought after 8 it was more dead running than navigation though which was upsetting after a nice start.

1 - Splits

Jk sprint. Went out hard and kept going felt good in housing estate thanks to lots of practice then the seconds got lost in the teletubby hills mainly 24 losing about 7 sec then jamie out ran me to the last control to take victory>Some good sprint oing though and really enjoyed it.
