orienteering race 1:18:52 [5] 7.5 km (10:31 / km)
MLS at Mytchett - a top area to orienteer on , this one described itself as Congo Stream. I was really focused at hoping to do well. However I was very messy, ran straight to 1 but actually it was the nearby 4 which was quite a surprise, then too far right to, way off on route to 3 seeing 26 and then 4 via 1.
All in a small bit of wood and others also had trouble. Was cautious through the next few, which allowed me go get into the race. No real mistakes but did collect a few bananas as the race went on. Lost time at 12 , not beating myself up about this as many of the pits are probably not in quite the right place and hard to see. In retrospect plodding along a bit slower than recently and min/km quite long -not surprising that a couple of guys who were around pulled away.
Alice beat me by 1 min. The difference being that I did not see the path under the red line and took a circuitous route
