Orienteering race 44:16 [4] 7.5 km (5:54 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212
Tactical error from the start, where I had planned to go North, but made a spur of the moment decision to head for 18 and get away from the crowds. Didn't even think about then heading South which would have been the best option, instead made another mistake by going to 19 before 2 when it would have been better going straight to 2 and picking up 19 on the way back between 4 & 5. Always knew I was going to leave out 10 and 21, and finally decided 12 was the other one to drop.
The X-Talons worked well on the sand, felt like I was skipping over the firmer bits, and with their light weight it was much easier to lift the feet out of the deeper sand.
