Orienteering (MLS Congo & Mytchett) 1:13:59 [0] 9.03 km (8:12 / km) +244m 7:13 / km
slept:7.5 shoes: VJ Bold 2019 (yellow)
Day started poorly as it took 2hrs to get garage door open and car out...
Ran to no. 4, similar notch/re-entrant in low slope across marsh to no. 1... was so convinced that it utterly confused me as to why the control number was wrong. Noted that control 4 was number 40 but didn't dawn on me that this meant I knew where I was on the map. So promptly ran off in wrong direction on a complete headless guess.... 2, was almost at control, just didn't spot the trench so backtracked to obvious junction and went from there. Things started getting a bit better from then on, until I stepped in a puddle right up to my middle between 3 and 4... decided to laugh rather than cry and to just enjoy the day. Went in way to early on 5, 12-13 just got confused with the paths and dithered about for ages. Overshot 14 as was very small pit with flag hung low in amongst bracken. 16-17 went straight, would have been better off going up and round I reckon.... really enjoyed it once I got going!
