Orienteering race 31:44 [5] 3.38 km (9:23 / km) +64m 8:35 / km
shoes: VJ Integrators
Oo Cup day5, soriška planina again, 2.4k, sprint, 1:5000 map, within reach of silver , safe in 3rd. Rain! All night. Utterly wet & miserable.
Fucking hell. Where to even start.
I’ve camped within 120m of my no 1 all week. Within 2 mins of starting I was LOST. Found 4 other controls before mine. A 150m/2 min max leg took me 5:21. At one point I was stood still, saying “I don’t know what to do!!!” I’d overshot badly (1:5000 is not good in forest) & went straight to my no 2- if only that had been the worst of it!!!!
Belted round , but no 9 horrific!!!! No idea! Louise on ultimate took under 2 mins. Me: 4:23. Just could barely walk let alone run across the rough ( there was an elephant track she said; I missed it). When I finally got to the circle, I was clueless- no idea!!!!! Oh dear....
And on to finish, nailing many legs, super fun: safe in 3rd/podium. Disgracefully far down today. What have I learned? That remains to be seen.
It’s been a great week with extremes of heat, results, happiness & disappointment; some great memories & nice to be 3rd as 2nd would have just been irritating. Major kudos to ALL who ran the Ultimate though- never!!!!! Not for me ! :-)
