JK Middle WRE.
Orienteering wellish, bearings good and picking the contours out. Picked up a slightly disorientated Birtwhistle at #3 and then Ben Stevens (who I had overtaken somewhere) then came through with Malley at #10 which made it an all out blast to the finish. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up so was spat out the back pretty early on and stumbled to the finish.
Nice course and very enjoyable overall.
Turned up 6 minutes late to the start owing partly to being stuck out the event for 15 minutes in a queue for parking spots and partly to running in the wrong direction to the Elite Start where I couldn't see the tapes. Doh. Unfortunately, I don't think they will change the start time despite my appeal, boo. Sometimes I think this sport has too bureaucracy and should stick to a more principles common sense approach.
