Tinto twin- how I forgot to charge my torch.

First was a night event. Went  there full of energy and ready to rock'n'roll . Start my worm up thing and when I get to start my torch start all ready turing off I tern it on and think will be fine . Get my map, punch start run around tree headed in wright direction run up the hill and then it starts my torch whent off. I try to tern it on but nothing. I unplugged and plug it in WORKS YESSSSS. I thermally my torch to 20% of light. Then can start race made small mistake on firtst control and up to low. Headed for 2 was big wind get fast second control and don't have problems with 3, 4 and 5. Cross hill to 6 when I start run down hill my torch vent of completely I try for long time to tern it on but nothing. Good there was other people who was looking for control find control use Patrick till half of whey to my control. When I whent to my control I take of my GPS watch and used his light not a lot but still some light. When I went in forest and try to find control it was harder then I thought it will be. I was 3m from control and can't see it. But eventually I find it . I went throught forest to hit a road the worst part in it was fallen trees. I can see them when I was 1m away from them. Survived forest bit, get on road, but still can't see a thing:( After Race was very mad at myself and give a promise need or don't need charge torch and bring backup with you.

Second day starts with heavy rain and strong wind. Definitely not good time for day in wild. But I like it a lot.  It was like my home forest. Not make big mistakes couple small ones. Made mistake on 4 not understand map.  Finished my distance in second place 7seconds behind 1th. I enjoyed every second of both races speciali my GPS torch :)
