Orienteering race (Jircs relays) 38:00 [4] 3.5 km (10:51 / km)
Relay team - Me, Nathan and Ben
The area was pretty damb horrible so I worked with everybody to find number one and fell down a hill, number 2 and 3 went well but at number 4 i was on the wrong side of the valley and lost the front of the relay. Then i was slowed down by all the damb marshes and when i got to 5 i assumed i was close to last place. Spiked the next couple controls and caught several people up, while destroying all bits of nature that got in my way - which by now had really annoyed me. Was a bit confused at 12 but managed to work out where i was and overtook several more people. I saw Nick just ahead of me at the spectator control so i ran hard to number 14 but was on the wrong hill for 10 seconds. After that i managed to spike the rest of the controls and overtook 4 people between 13 and 16. I sprinted in the direction of the noise which i assumed was the finish then passed onto my partner.
When i finished my legs were covered in mud, there was bits of tree in my hair, i had scratches all over my legs, arms and face from the branches and i had ripped a sizeable hole in my trousers.
Fun.
