Orienteering long 1:21:00 [4] 9.0 km (9:00 / km) +340m 7:34 / km
OY at Cotswold. nice course, but tough at the start, with heaps of climb in the first part. still sore, and struggled on the climbs. the second 2/3 of the course didn't have too many climbs, but quite a few vague compass legs across the plateau, which I usually stuff up on this map. legs started to feel better, and somehow managed to stay on line and hit all the controls really well. feet started to fall apart with big blisters in my arches, and then Olly came past - not too quick, but with still half the course to go and very sore feet I just couldn't run any faster. made it around the rest ok. just a bit slow cos of my feet. was a bit amused to see a few people trying to shoo away the feral kangaroo at the last control.
found 2 ticks so far. neither had bit me yet luckily.
