Orienteering - Forest race (White Rose Team Competiti) 32:37 [5] 5.93 km (5:30 / km) +123m 4:59 / km
ahr:142 max:166 shoes: X-talon 212 (blk/flro) - Nov17
To conclude my least successful weekend of orienteering EVER, mp'd the relay too.
Good format - basically 'not a relay', whole team starts at once, on different courses, then whoever is the first back does one final course. Then the winner is just the time from all 4legs added together.
I like it.
After the first 5 controls once things had settled down and it was clear who was doing which course, in a group with Andy Llewellyn and Andrew Preston. I was keeping up ok but never at the front. Took different route choices on a few occasions which I'm pleased I did, but they usually brought me out slightly further back.I was usually in 2nd or 3rd but the leader kept changing.
Andy P and I got away from Andy L at #10 but he caught me again by 13, I sneakily got back in front on the run in to finish about 1s up but 15 or so down on first. We were all the first back in our teams so we were together on the final course too. AP and I took the easier path route on 4 but undershot, allowing AL to take the victory. I couldn't stick with AP and had to settle for third. But it was really good racing.
Obviously the MP (control 3 first part) was frustrating, didn't want to lose time by unfolding the map to check the codes.usually I'd rip the descriptions off the side of the map, for some reason I didn't even consider doing that for this event, obviously wish I had now!
Both this event and the sprint were definite highlights compared to the forest events.
Looking forward to some more o now, but another 2 weeks to wait as the fell running this weekend looks better.
