orienteering race 29:46 [3] 6.0 km (4:58 / km) +110m 4:33 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 (#3)
Christmas 5 days - day 4 - Lapstone.
Started out messy - early start, so I ran the wrong way to #1, rather than doubling back through the start. Then fell over on the way to #2 and gashed my left leg.
Pushed hard through the first half (on S side of map), esp on the tracky legs. Used up 59" of my 1 minute road crossing allowance, but still had a series of mistakes on the second half.
The map printing was hideous - rendered into low definition bitmap image by OCAD I think... happy we used Purple Pen and a good printer.
Despite messy second half, won Men B by 5 minutes, but trailed Tove Alexandersson by over 6 minutes. She caught me just before the last leg & was pretty hard to keep up with.
