Orienteering race 43:19 [5] *** 9.5 km (4:34 / km) +115m 4:18 / km
spiked:27/30c
SSS 17 at Lilyfield
Good course around Callan park & Lilyfield lanes.
Wasn't switched on today with 3 costly lapses in concentration:
- Ran 200m uphill past 13 which was on my map fold (2mins)
- Visited the wrong 'beach' E of 22 (1min)
- From 28, headed towards 20 instead of 19 (1min)
Lost another minute waiting for the lights at the busy Victoria Rd/Balmain Rd intersection between 13-12. In hindsight I should've run 200m along Balmain Rd which would've given better opportunity for a safe gap in traffic to cross and not lose any time.
On the positive side, I managed to limit the damage with hard running and a good route plan (9k discounting >500m of errors).
Scored 600 in 43.19 which was well back in the field - Richard & Brooner 41, Ondrej, Andy, Glenn & Toby 42.
