orienteering race (White Rose Long) 1:01:00 [3] *** 6.0 km (10:10 / km) +40m 9:50 / km
spiked:8/12c shoes: Inov8 X-Talons #2
Actually had a nightmare... by the looks of things so did everyone else though. Made 3 bad mistakes. Course was only meant to be 3.6K but I ran 6K. Took 11 minutes to #1 as I misread a veg' boundary as a light green block of forest further on on my map, mistake due to lack of concentration.
Spiked the next 2 controls, which were quite hard and I was pleased. Then went on to take 14mins to the next control. Basically lost the will to live after that. Messed up #8 as well as I was a bit too high. Managed to still hold on to my win overall. Lost by 10seconds!! this day.
