Orienteering race 1:53:03 [5] 8.1 km (13:57 / km) +330m 11:36 / km
shoes: VJ Integrator
Actual distance - 11.59km (extra mostly around #15 with some round #20!) - nearly 50% extra which is shocking!
Actual climb - 332m (felt a lot more!)
Pretty good run until after #14 when all the wheels fell off. Slight wobble at #12 (lost 1') when Sasha caught me up coming into #11. Was about to nail #13 when my (apparent!) local knowledge pulled me off to the right - probably just 1' lost.
A clear 3' ahead of RC coming out of #14 and hot on the heals of DW, albeit well off the pace of the three younger lads!
#15 was a complete disaster - started running on (apparent!) local knowledge rather than orienteering. Won't do that again! A good 17' mistake as much higher than i would allow myself to think it was!!! Aaarrrgggghhhhh!!!
Back on track after #15 until #20 when i appear to have completely misread the map - perhaps poor eyesight, most likely fed up by that point. Didn't really like this loop and felt at least 2, if not 3 of these could have been dropped quite happily. #23 to end was fine.
Bring on the next event so i can erase this one!!
