Orienteering race 1:03:12 [5] 9.1 mi (6:57 / mi)
JK Merthyr Common 15th
Everything in a hole, so accuracy was essential.
Set off running hard and smooth, clean through the first few vague controls then onto a long leg across the map. Was smack on line, but pulled up a few metres short distracted on entering the circle by everyone in sight being left and looking at another control in a hole. Went to check, then didn't know where I was. 3 min walkabout until Caban showed up heading to where I started. Back I went and found it. Lost another minute to a big banana at 11, then clean under pressure from Caban on my tail.
4 mins of errors, so very disappointed to be 10 mins down when pushing hard the whole way. New reality.
