orienteering race (Urban) 48:33 [5] 6.4 km (7:35 / km)
BAOC Urban race at Amesbury. A soulless set of estates possibly for nearby Boscombe Down airfield, but either an ideal place for urban and/ or good planning. Bitter day but no wind in the town and touchless emit allowed gloves. Tricky course with plenty of choices, Tried to go down alley with gate at 3 -same at 10, why bother putting on map? Big route choice 6-7 did choose a viable route but a long way round (sub-optimal) . Tiring quite badly towards end - could not see control at 21 (control blind), guy behind found it for me, but suddenly completely disorientated , followed guy whilst I sorted myself out, but slow and actually committed to poor route. Shame about the end but lack of stamina a bit of a reoccurring theme.
