Orienteering race 50:40 [5] 10.24 km (4:57 / km)
shoes: Brooks Vapor 2 2016
WSX Night League, Winchester, 1/41
Warned by the planner that it was going to be difficult to do in an hour! Started at a good pace and tried to do the eastern controls and ones that required more running first. Caught Mike Frizzell but couldnt drop him for ages due to poor flag hunting. Quite a few controls were hidden or tucked away. Banged my head on a branch exiting one control. Realised before the final city centre controls that I would easily clear up. Kept pushing on anyway. Probably ran a bit too hard but happy to hey them all and the max points :)
Edit: "thought I had got it just right on time until Rob Finch blew me out of the water, but I based it on people like Dale & Andy not top elite runners. Rob choose the best possible route going anti clockwise, despite my tempting them to all go clockwise" Planners comments on WSX website. That's the first time I've been described as a top elite! :P
