Event: O in the (*) Oaks
Orienteering race 3:03:30 [3] *** 8.7 km (21:06 / km) +700m 15:02 / km
Blue at O in the Oaks at Joe Grant
It was a very physical course. I ended up exhausted and bruised. Had a couple of mistakes on the first few controls then started hitting them quickly. Then came the long leg. I ran well all the way into the circle, and even knew I was there, but couldn't find the control. I had to relocate twice, each time confirming that I was right about where I was. It turned out eventually that the control had fallen over against the rock in some tallish grass. That was very frustrating and turned an okay race into a bad one.
