Orienteering race (Metro - West Leeming) 40:49 [5] 8.18 km (4:59 / km)
ahr:183 max:201

Bit disappointed to see the Sten had made it along to dash the hoped of all us second stringers, but thought maybe his ankle will still slow him down.

Headed NW from the start with a couple of guys leading off in front of Sten, with me following and I think Juffy close behind.

Came back in to get 1 but somehow didn't even see 24 on the map an went within 100m of it on the way to 19. was then surprised to sneak into 18 before Sten, thinking there weren't any extra controls he could of picked up in that time.

Headed a bit south for a mini loop then back to the north edge and down the east sideand started heading in through the southern controls.

Was just behind Robin heading into 8 and caught Simmo, Robin took the north route to 27, Simmo and I took the south route. Ran off Simmo across the oval and still behind Robin at 27.

Paused at the first fenced drain hoping Robin had missed the control, but I was just wasting time and still not closing on him. Kept up the chase through 2, 7 and 3 and thought I was in with a chance to sprint to the line as I started to close the gap, but couldn't catch him.

Stupid mistake missing 24, meant I got 9 instead (possibly, or a different one) which gave me an extra 400m, so cost me 2 mins. But besides that route choice seemed good, with couple of mini loops in from the edge of the course working well.

Oh, and on closer inspection of the HR graph the 201 max may actually be real, yuck.
