Orienteering - Forest race (Brereton Heath) 37:12 [4] 6.63 km (5:37 / km) +25m 5:30 / km
ahr:134 max:160 shoes: X-talon 212 (blk/flro) - Nov17
Vegetation at the start looked dire and I resolved to stay on the paths. However this was a terrible tactic as actually the vegetation was fine and there were paths everywhere to the extent that none were reliable.
So 1 was a disaster as I had the approach all wrong, relocated via 16 (on the other side of the map) and probably lost a minute. Resolved to ignore the paths and use compass, and this worked excellently. Went to 4 before 3 (line crossing issue) and lost another minute, but that's a different issue!
After that didn't really do a lot wrong other than bad lines through the undergrowth sometimes, but that's just luck.I was happy that I did exactly what I'm always wishing I would do - adapt to the map and terrain rather than just moaning about it.
