MTBO race 1:10:05 [3] 14.9 km (4:42 / km) +130m 4:30 / km
French 5 Days - Day 1:
Was going well to number 5, riding fast and navving ok. 5 was in a quarry and I found Charli here looking in the same place as me - there was something odd with the map/control circle, lost 3:30. Not happy with that control but set off to 6, only to find mapping and actual tracks on floor hit and miss. More tracks on floor than map. Ended up on something I knew wasn't right but hacked out to main track and back in to 6 - smoother than the others with me and arrived at 6 first of the small group I was with. Another 5 mins lost.
Think my head had lost it after that, not riding as fast through 7-14 as total write off already. Bad route out of 9 but otherwise nav good and got a few track standing punches in. Then disaster at 14, this time nothing to do with the map, everything to do with concentration. Another 2-3mins lost riding 2 sides of a triangle.
Thought I'd finish it off in style with the age old mistake of hammering it to make up time. Lost another 3-4mins on 15 being a tool.
Hammered it to the finish, stopping for a quick superman impression, but no more mistakes...
Disappointing start to nav but riding well.
