Orienteering race 40:31 [5] 4.5 km (9:00 / km) +160m 7:39 / km
British Middle Distance Champs - Stanton Moor
Overshot 1 and the too far right on 2 so not a good start..... got it back together through to 8 where went left of crags and got confused and dropped too low (should have gone simple route to left!)... came out too far south to 9 and saw Jason Inman as I was coming out (caught me for 4 minutes!!)
Got away from him through easy bit (he made 1 minute error at 10).... then brain just went at end..... came out of 20, didn't check compass carefully enough and went far to far left.... as I was going back in Jason was coming out,,, red mist set in and I tried to chase him down and forgot to go to 22 until I was c.200m past!!
In total lost c. 6 minutes.... 4 minutes of that were just stupid simple errors!!! Frustrating really. Running speed looks good, even in heather where only Steve Watkins was much quicker....
11th (again)! - winner Steve Watkins 32:47
