Orienteering - Forest race (Polly Lander MaccH O) 1:29:23 [5] 16.05 km (5:34 / km) +528m 4:47 / km
ahr:141 max:156 (sick) shoes: Pegasus 36 Trail
Psyched for this since Allen took 'my' trophy last year and I wanted it back!
2 and 3 compulsory first controls were significantly overlapping so very nearly missed the second of them. Then was helped quite a bit by having done this event multiple times before... Have had a control on the ruin before and knew there was a path all the way to the footbridge despite it not being mapped, etc etc.
Didn't carry on far enough to the path up Jep Clough so added a few hundred metres extra distance, then later on was confused because one path was through thick, established woodland (no trees on map) and then again because the path I was on was obliterated by the control circle.
Then the final control was in the wrong place and I spent 5 mins looking for it before Andy told me they'd spent a while earlier and it was on a different gate. Sigh.
Luckily I was well ahead of everyone else and so still took the victory despite this.
Lovely evening and good running. Bit sketchy at times with these shoes, think they're due for retirement.
