Orienteering race 58:53 [4] 5.5 km (10:42 / km) +290m 8:28 / km
Compass Sport Cup at Cwm Lickey . Good fun and an area I always enjoy, despite its physicality. A pity there has been so little snow this year - the dead bracken could have done with being flattened a bit more.
Middling run. Bad miss on 3. Steep hill off 2 pushed me a bit to the left and I continued on that trajectory, then got a bit confused by flowing water in he re-entrant - which was acually the one I wanted, just too low. Thought it must be one of the watercourses on route for the control. Lost a good 2 minutes .
Ok in teh middle section if a bit scrappy in places. Even more scrappy at the end - nothing major but could have saved 30 s or so on both 14 and 16 with better routes.
Still, result was pretty decent, and ranking position should soar - courtesy of an un characteristic performance from Clive.
