Wednesday Aug 22 |
| Orienteering race 43:00 [5] | |
| |
| My last WOC race. Had an OK run until I went to 14 after the run through rather than 11 which was at least a minute and very very stupid. Had been caught 2 mins by number one nearly even though I didn't miss it so too hesitant I reckon. Wasn't as bushy in your face as the qualifier but a lot of crap on the ground.
Finished 23rd equal with Rach though I just had to go and complain at the WOC office to get the results changed! |
