2012 Easter Day 1 (07/04/2012)

Easter Day 1 Middle Distance
Over The Border

I felt good out of the start, but I was sloppy on the long leg to 1. I missed the second indistinct track, and didn't have a backup plan ready. I was hoping to run hard and use the track, but I ended up fumbling through the forest.
2 and 3 were good. I exited 3 in the right direction, but upon crossing the gully I didn't see the bare rock, so I thought that I was too low. I ended up being too high and I hit the clearing 100m to the SW.'
On the way to 5 Shep caught me. He missed 5 a bit so I left him. He got ahead again, but his run was a bit messy.
I felt quite strong in the flat forest and I made up some time, passing Jim 4 minutes just after 13. Upon exiting 14 Shep was coming back to it. I got the last one cleanly, and finished in just over 37 minutes.

My speed was ok, but I hope to be able to minimise the annoying early mistakes
