Real Orienteering race (Diamond Hill) 1:03:40 [3] **** 8.21 km (7:45 / km) +210m 6:53 / km
ahr:132 max:154 spiked:9/14c weight:79.6kg shoes: Saucony White Thingys
Goodness me. What a shocker. I have probably ran 40 races on Diamond Hill. Probably 15 or so would have been in this area. But with only the brown lines on the map, I was sorely tested.
Control 2: The long leg. Twisted ankle and hobbled for what looks like three minutes on the GPS trace. Concentrated on the pain and hobbled well past the control... 2.20 lost
Control 3. 'Ran' well, well past. 3.15 lost
Control 4 Missed reading some fine detail and ferreted around. Contact lens playing up. 1.00 lost
Control 9: Minor blemish. 20 seconds
Control 11. Fine detail, rubbed eye and displaced contact lens, so was trying to read the squiggles with blurred and double vision. Evan ran past and wondered why I was so slow. He punched the control about 5 metres from me and I didn't event see that.
The combination of mind failure, body failure and equipment failure accounted for ten minutes! A lot needs to improve before easter. Concentrate. Don't rub eyes. Strap even more throughly. In other words, a time of 53 minutes should have been my target. 63 woeful.
Well set course P Galvin. Lots of us had trouble on the long leg without tracks and other linear features to guide us. Reminds me of the fabled 2 kilometre first leg one easter in NSW.. Inverary. Lots of Bendigo competitors had shockers because our navigation style is based on many linear catching features and fast and loose running between them. We find it hard to run well within ourselves when the navigation is dangerous.
Spending much of the evening making progress on SI matters. We have the data from the box, but there is data corruption on some sticks. Have written names to our SI sticks. Now I'm facing writing a database routine to convert the SI download output into something compatible with RouteGadget.
Well set P Galvin.
