I felt like I had great race, despite not nailing all the controls, mostly happy with my rout choices and execution. I got lucky by somehow avoiding unmapped nasty vegetation, and with long legs, I was able to correct without major loss of time for the fact that vegetation pushed me from the line I wanted to go (white on a map, seriously not white in reality). Escaped from the woods in one peace, despite falling into fox holes at least 3 times, and no nasty scratches around the neck, like some of my fellow competitors. My brain kind of shot down after spectators control (could be GU my stomach), I was very sloppy and lost all my lead (whole 5 sec on Speedy), and I still can not figure out, why I did not see the control on my first approach to #12, I was no more than 30 m away, saw the feature - rock, not cairn, and turn around and sent myself on a wild goose chase for next 4.5 min.
