Orienteering race (CompassSport Cup) 1:10:25 [4] 9.88 km (7:08 / km) +210m 6:27 / km
shoes: inov8 Roclite295 (1)

Brown course. Did well to 5; shame about the rest.

Started 3 mins behind Shane and caught him at 4 and still with him most of the way to 6. Then misread the contours and lost 2 mins in the wrong area of crags. Lost another 2 mins or so on 7 associated to the misreading of contours at 6...

Bearing went wrong 8-9 and found a big hole in the undergrowth that swallowed my right leg. Messed up 10 by thinking it was near the top of the hill rather than down the other side. Didn't think I was anywhere near control at 11 but found it and carried on.

Stupidly took straight line route to 12. Gorse has ruined my legs. Lost 2 mins due to this, then another min by being too low down. Misread contours of 13 (would have mapped gullies rather than hillocks) so was well off, then lost 20s or so getting down to control without getting the rest of my body in contact with the gorse.

Finished with a poor route into 14.

Fairly disappointed with my run: made a good 10-12 mins of mistakes on the last half of the course so could have been well up the field today.
