Orienteering race 3:01:55 [4] 18.0 mi (10:06 / mi)
JK M21E Beaudesert
Entered this six months ago assuming there would be time to train. That didn't happen, but being too slow to compete it seemed like a fun challenge
(Type II fun). So it proved - it was long and rough 39 controls so there was only one long leg. The 3 hour target was just missed, but a very satisfactory outing until they told me I went to the wrong #6 - one of two adjacent pits in the green. boo. 5 people had longer times. Next year...

Have enjoyed the JK elite middle in the last two years, today was clean but the course was dull and disappointing. The area ilimited, but there's plenty of scope for legs to make you think.
Nice run, very simple stuff but still managed to lose ~45 sec running 10-12-11 and then mispunch at a similar tree-in-corner one block too early. Still, quite enjoyed running hard on grass and ibuprofen - not that there's any pace left, would have finished in the 30s without the DQ, 20s without the mistake.
