At Lively's Bog. What an epic! Good course, and really enjoyed it, but it was just too much for me today. Didn't feel too bad running (unlike yesterday), but I guess going that fast was never really an option. Didn't feel like I was able to push the pace at all, and kept making little mistakes that cost big time - crossed the swamp too far nth of 1 and had to cross extra green, dropped down to quickly on the second long leg, and had to climb back up, then wobbled all the way to the control - which I didn't see in the gully, and went to the next one. miss read the rocks on 7, and lost a couple of minutes going too far along the spur.
Shannon caught me there, and I think having her there made me pay more attention and stopped making the stupid mistakes in the circle, but still took the wrong route choice on the last long leg - went through the saddle and down around the end of the spurs instead of up and along the top of the ridges.
Another shit run to end a week of shit runs. Now to get things back in gear before the woc trials.
