Left work late, so had to push hard on the bike to make it on time. Made it with 2mins to spare. Really felt that effort once I started running. Struggled to push hard. Average pace was ok though.
Navigation a bit wobbly at the start, but then I got my head round the map.
O race (Street-O) 1:00:29 [4] 10.09 km (6:00 / km)
First Street-O of the season. Felt like I was running ok and navigation was good. Writing down the answers was a bit of a mess though! Kept forgetting which control number I was at and having to flip the map and answers over and over.
Lost about 2 mins picking a route that would have taken me through a cemetery, but the gates were locked. I should have realised it was a risky route and there was an equally good route on a path I was already on and so I knew was open. Still a good result overall though.
Disappointed with my effort here. Need to get my head back into what it takes to navigate in the woods. Too slapdash.
Missed the path into #3 by the building.
Took the wrong path to #7 after the junction coming from #6. No map contact after leaving path. Struggling to actually find the control once I did find the fence it was on.
