Orienteering race 48:07 [5] 7.07 km (6:48 / km) +194m 5:59 / km
shoes: VJ Integrators
Caddihoe chase day 1, burrator, blue, 5.8km/200m
At the start no one told me there was a taped route to a start flag that wasn’t mine. Additionally, due to being chilled & chatty at the start, I thought we were pointing due south. Compass said due north. Didn’t check in boxes. Very confused.
Followed tapes to the “start” flag, noting it had no SI unit on it. Navigated from start on my map, using the “extra” “start” flag (which said “Start” on it),(which was one field box over), straight into bracken filled field where I spent 5 minutes. Just ridiculous. One old lady jogged past & was laughing at me.
Apart from overshooting no 4 (1 min)- due to raging & being very fit- clean (really good infact, at times!!!); & just took the “win”.
Sigh. Another race, another seemingly inexplicable fuck up. I’m going to forget this one.
