Orienteering 30:11 [4] 5.44 km (5:33 / km) +30m 5:24 / km
slept:6.0 (sick) shoes: Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra (pin
Hartlebury West. Very small area so 4x 1.1km courses with mass start and 24 runners running 24 combinations of the courses (plus 10 or so doing 3 courses)
D-C-B-A.
Think D was probably the harder of the courses so starting on that meant I wasn’t used to the map. Useful to identify which bits were the brambliest (D’s paths were, others weren’t). Also had another quickish guy starting with D so head to head which made me push harder. Suspected we were first and second after first loop.
On my own for next one, which was quite straightforward, apart from having to go the long way round to 6 rather than through the gap in the bushes as another competitor had decided to stop and use the gap as a toilet.
Third loop was a bit messy to start as gap I was looking for at 1 was thigh deep bracken rather than thigh deep heather, similar for 2 then easy. Last leg was more routine as revisited 2 controls and had some decent path running. Think I may have won by a minute or so.
Had wanted to run around the other side of the road after (and the guy I was with on loop D did), but dry cough came back and just didn’t think it was a good idea - watch telling me I’m overtraining now too. Walked instead and it’s interesting enough to come back if there’s an event.
