orienteering race 2:40:56 [4] ****
154c
Bois Rond - O Verte Dose
World Record Attempt!!
Managed to not punch the last water control, suffering as I was from thirst and hunger, denying myself a place in the books. Fabrice Vannier and JM Delaume proved their class completing the record in 2h04/06 respectively. Stars!
Weather was nice, not too hot and a bit sunny.
As for the race, the first 60 controls flew by, despite making several mistakes. Afterwards I started suffering. Running became harder due to tiredness and I slowed down, although I was already well off the pace. Not that I was hoping to challenge given my lack of fitness.
Lovely terrain, made the orienteering a real pleasure. Map link in the discussion page.
