Middle Distance today.
3mins lack of care at #2 (my favourite oft-repeated error of reading rough open/scattered trees as semi-open, and so looking for control in open not in trees).
1min route to #4
1min crossing wrong ridge to #5
But the killer was dropping 8mins on a 1.5mins leg to #9, another control on rocks and knolls in amongst green. Confused a re-entrant, never understood the map well enough to re-locate around the circle, never disciplined enough to come right out to fence (or back to #8) and try again.
A bit more care meant not too bad after #9 but well off the pace of flying Alastair Landels, 34:57 (!)
Bill 41, Martin 45, Jase 48, Pete J 66, Brad 79 (even worse than me at #9!).

Running warm up/down 12:53 1.93 km (6:40 / km) +35m 6:07 / km

ahr:126 max:149 shoes: Inov8 Xtalon 2015
Still struggling with the running, not helped by ridiculous 6mins dropped wandering around hopefully at #3 instead of reading the map carefully all the way for the last 50-100m.
Another 2min from unintentionally circuitous route to #14, should have pushed through the thicker-than-mapped green on planned route instead.
But Al Landels won in 55:50, Bill ran 56mins for 2nd and Martin 58mins for 4th. Clearly not even running close to the right speed today!
Jase 70, Pete J 74, Brad 92.

ahr:148 max:167 shoes: Inov8 Xtalon 2015
Winner 56:48.
Martin 64, Jase 74, Pete J 75, Bill 84, Brad 93.
Bill spent 20mins off the map en route to #4, I was only off the map for 2mins myself (en route to #7).
However.....also lost 1:30 at #1 and 1min at #4, then when we got to the green bushy rocky stuff I lost 4 mins at #9 and 5mins at #10. So relieved to escape back to the easier running I then was too casual and lost 3mins at #11 as well :(
So 15-20mins of time loss and in the top third of the field. Terrain supposed to get harder on the later days. Could be an interesting week....

Running warm up/down 8:51 1.06 km (8:22 / km)
ahr:115 max:140 shoes: Brooks Ghost 7 Mar 2015
Orienteering race 16:18 [4] 3.2 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 7 Mar 2015
Not expecting much after only two runs (Jukola and Harvester) in past four weeks. No running and no stretching seemed to have made my dodgy left quad/adductor (legacy of Boston in April) more tight and sore than ever, still uncomfortable even after the warm up.
Waddled my fat unfit way to 24th of 79. A whopping 2:20 behind Bill, who won. Then waddled my fat unfit way to a three course lunch with beers.
Orienteering 54:24 [1] 4.2 km (12:58 / km) +43m 12:20 / km
shoes: Inov8 Xtalon 2015
Could tell the vegetation mapping was a number of years old. Hoping against hope that was the only reason I couldn't make too much sense of the intricate stuff...
