QBW 2016 - Day 3 (05/06/2016)

Strong race today! ran the first 6 controls very clean. The area on the way to 7 had a huge area of unmapped marsh that completely confused me. Ended up taking a bearing south hoping to find the correct hill. Straight through the marsh to 8 lost about a minute and taking the tracks to 9 lost a bit as well. The marsh severly cut my hand so my map was completely covered in blood. Ran 11 very safe by staying on the dunes and picking of features along the way. Didn't realise there was a taped route through the green on the line to 12 so lost time on the southern route. Should of just gone straight through the forest as the track deviated too much. I was happy with the rest of the course considering my fitness. Looking forward to being more competitive later this year. 21 also happened to be quite bingo with a lot of unmapped green to pass through. Overall, I don't think I could of done any better today, just circumstances in the terrain.
