Orienteering race 34:53 [4]
WSX Poole Town Race. Good course with a few route choice legs. Only error was rushing away after picking my map up. Should have immediately turned left down small passageway, but went straight ahead! Slightly longer, but off putting. Didn't realise until I was too far down path to bother to go back. We had been told the Start kite was on a path junction and that it was a clue! Hesitant approaching 4 as I'd lost my place on the map and thought I wasn't as far as I was. Luckily a BOK runner came passed me and went straight on. I had to stop to check, so only lost about 10 seconds. The butterfly loop was a bit bizarre, as on the first loop I ended up going back exactly the same way I had gone out. There was a route to the north which perhaps was shortly - it had less turns so was probably better.Ran passed a lifeboat crew being photographed with the local mayor on the quayside! Pleased to only be a minute behind Liz Godfree and to beat Sue and Liz Drew who had beaten me in Bruges last weekend!
