Orienteering race 49:58 *** 7.76 km (6:26 / km) +239m 5:35 / km
ahr:154 max:172
Bendigo Bush Classic 11
Sedgwick South
Steep and very stony.
I was pleased with most of this. I lost concentration a little leaving #3 and didn't read my map carefully enough. I also could have cut the corner on a track further along towards #4 if I was orienteering better.
Otherwise I got up all the hills reasonably well and choose good routes. The flag were faded and mostly hidden.
I was enjoying the last climb to #10, but I couldn't see any flag on the saddle. I was certain that I was correct as it was on a track. I looked around for a few minutes in case it was behind a tree. I thought I was going mad. After 3 minutes of standing around I decided to continue without punching, with an aim to break 50 mins. I exited along the track just in case it was on the next spur. That helped to reinforce that I was correct the first time.
It turns out that some helpful Bendigo member had collected the control at 2:30pm, 30 mins before course closure. It was on course 5, but they hadn't realised that it was also on Course 1. The last 4 competitors were impacted.
