Orienteering race race (Bushveld series) 1:40:13 [4] 8.3 km (12:04 / km) +360m 9:55 / km
shoes: Montrails
Bushveld Series # 5 Pelindaba.
A good course, starting with some detailed map reading and then longer legs at the end. felt great to be reading things well in the technical section. Too hesitant on # 1 (20s)and then my compass reading took me too far right on controls #4 (40s) and #5 (1.45) (should have paid more attention to contours as well), so Christie closed the 3 min gap and caught me at #5 . Was impressed with her power up the hill to #6, but she didn't seem to pick up the path, (we both went to high (30s) )so I was able to shake her and didn't see her again. Got to #8 cleanly but should have rather approached the control from the bottom (30s). Poor compass work on #10 again and slow to relocate (2.52)(and again attention to contours would have been better). just slow going down the hill to #11 (1.18) (although splits seem to imply I had a mistake). Was nice to see and try a different route choice to #14 . My execution up the hill was just too slow (1 min). Was using pacing and contour reading in the 2nd half of the long leg 15-16, but didn't trust my contour work enough so dawdled (1.25). That non trusty compass again to #17 (30 s) Thought I had a good plan on #22 but don't think I quite understood the vegetation, so got side tracked and battled reallocating (4.07). had blisters by this stage from the rocks but tried my best to push hard to the finish. (need to consider new shoes?)
