Middle qual. Terrible run. Wasn't in a good frame of mind before I started and everything fell apart badly from control 6 to 12. Just couldnt handle the terrain. In C final tomorrow. More of a write up later

Ok so I wasn't feeling too well this morning, not sick but I felt really mentally fatigued and slow, didn't feel like I was processing anything fast. Tried to motivate myself up but out on the warmup map I felt like I was moving poorly and I couldn't hit any of the controls cleanly, didn't feel like I was processing the map quickly or well. Pretty much broke my confidence before id even started. Tried hard to shake it off and felt a bit better about things on the start line in race mode. On route to 1 was doing fine then fell into a marsh that just looked like grass and got my map and compass completely covered in filthy smelling mud. Quickly wiped it off but lost confidence again and slowly picked my way into 1. Hesitant into the next few but really got them pretty well. Then to 6 I drifted and lost contact, lost time relocating. Then 7 which was so easy off a track I stuffed due to poor exit direction out of 6, was dragged more from where I had come when I had overrun the control. Really tried hard to restart from here and focus on my process but seemed to be off in the next few controls. Off to the right everytime too, don't know why. Went straight to 12 but got caught in thick stuff and lost more time. The last few controls were less tech and I got them well, but the damage was done. Disappointed with how I handled things, but hopefully things go better tomorrow (I seem to be saying that every night this week)
