Orienteering race 1:03:43 [4] *** 8.89 km (7:10 / km) +250m 6:17 / km
spiked:18/20c (injured)
Leinster spring cup event at Trooperstown.
Part of the junior training.
I am starting to not like this area!! There is an area on the slope that is very strange - Thats my excuse anyway:)
The course was fine - controls very visible so navigation mainly compass bearing and then struggle thru the heather - great if you have long legs.
I was going along ok untill control number 17 seemed like a simple leg
compass bearing follow the contour through the marsh hit the double boulders then it all became very vague, was expecting to hit a long gully just before the depression but only found some elongated re-ents. So started to wander around aimlessly in waist deep heather scanning around for a depression.
Relocated off a watertank and paced towards the control jumped the gully and found the depression right next to a nice boulder that was strangely not on the map?
Kinda lost interest after this...
Lost 5 mins so would still have been well down on all the flying juniors!
