| Spring Rock Festival. Day 1 Green X course."Short". Weather was chilly but no rain. Since it was my first meet in a long time decided to play it safe and slow for the most part. Probably spent more time than necessary stopped and looking at the map but was afraid of taking chances and risking a big mistake. The plan worked and I was happy with my result even though it was slower than one might wish. No bad physical consequences and could still run at end. |
| Orienteering race 20:26 [4]*** 2.16 km (9:28 / km) +105m 7:37 / km | |

| Leg C of the sprint relay, run as the first leg. The hordes had pretty much scattered by the second control. Map scale of 1:5000 had me overrun one of the controls near the end (#8). Had to walk up the hills but that didn't surprise me. Followed Mark Dominie to #4 and then didn't see him again until #8 when he appeared behind me. Managed a decent sprint to the finish. |
