Orienteering - race 1:55:56 [3] 8.0 mi (14:29 / mi)
Harvester leg 2
Hmm. How long might Max take on leg 1? 6k, in the dark, in a tough Lakeland forest. An hour would be good, but you want to be there at the changeover, so give him 50mins. Get up there. Good news, Max is through the radio. Bad news, that's the first radio, and only about 1.5k into the course. We wait, and wait, and wait. Andy L and Rhys F-R are back in 74. It became apparent that no compromises had been made and there were no reflectives on the kites. This was tough! Max could be a while - 2:30. I decided from the outset it would slow and streaky with minimal mistakes, and that's what it was. Not a blindingly good run, but the only big miss was 3mins-ish at number 13, a minute or so at 20 and lots of hesitations and minor wobbles. Pleased. The rest of the teamsters a recent Swiss signing called Nadia, then Graham Mc, Graeme, Ken and Colin. Fun weekend, great event, big tired smiles now!
My agility was much better today so I think my springy practice is paying off.
