Event: Street Event 2
Orienteering - Urban race (SWOC Thornhill) 58:14 [3] 11.33 km (5:08 / km) +125m 4:52 / km
slept:4.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 18
Another day of Swiss and Canadian auditor meetings...
Windy evening but glad to get out. Was very surprised when I looked at distance on watch when it said I'd run 10.5k - as thought was going quite slowly and could keep it up.
Found the start after only 10s or so of looking - and had already started moving before located it. Didn't form a plan quickly (well, for 25 mins or so!) but wasn't punished for it - had started planning to go NW, then anti clockwise but went to 5 instead of 3, replanned, then found something that worked for top half.
Route S-2-5-24-6-4-21-23-15-25-20-19-11-17-26-18-16-12-8-22-14-1-F. 390 points from 450, missing only 3, 7, 9, 10 and 13. May have even calculated my score correctly...
Field 6-4 was quite wet and slippery! Slow up the hills around 23/15 and Gary caught up. Went west from 20 as thought it was quicker than the fiddly route - but once I committed saw that doubling back and taking the straight road at the bottom would have been better!
Planned various routes for bottom half but realised N-S zig zags would be too much dog legging for 16 and 18 so went for E-W. Kept having to replan as it became more apparent I wouldn't clear in time - 7 an obvious drop, and 13 wasn't worth the penalty - same for 10 and 9. Might just have got 3 between 1 and finish but would have been very tight on time so played it safe.
Well planned by Clare and nice area to run around. Got me more training against headwinds on long straight 26-18-16 - and I survived so all good.
