orienteering 1:20:00 [3]
Course 4 Mulga valley.
Orienteered quite well up to near the end of the long leg to 8, messed that up, relocated, found 8, proceeded to 9 and made a huge error, was basically not careful enough where I crossed the last creek and was too far south. Found another control couldn’t work out where that saddle was on my map ( because I was stupidly set in my thinking that I was north not south of the control.) Became completely bamboozled and didn’t execute a relocation plan until I’d spent more than 15 minutes wandering and trying to help a distressed orienteer who asked for help ( I did warn them I was a bit lost too!) A 5-6 minute ( for me) leg became 24 minutes. V disappointed in myself. Shame as it was a lovely area to run in.
