Well i wasn't that keen on showing this to the world but planning talking through it as part of my lesson today... really stressy run, lots of time haemorraged out thoughout the course. Partly caused by not being able to re-set after 1, where i ran the full leg at high speed and thought the boulder just before the control was the knoll. checked behind, no control, thought i must have been on the wrong hill entirely. two laps before i was sure there was absolutely nowhere else i could be. low confidence to start with from not being as fit as before, really rushing and distracted round 3, 4. gathered a train and from the repeated misses and lack of terrain speed i just could not drop them, leading to further stress and mistakes round the northmost loop. new thinning round 13, 14, 15 made life more difficult. felt unsure and stopped to check on the way to 17, had lost concentration again and lost track, good to do that even when it was okay. nice direction through the green to 2 as well, despite everything. bad feeling after the race but good to get it done and move on to something better, i hope.
