Run race ((orienteering)) 34:24 [4] *** 3.8 km (9:03 / km) +130m 7:44 / km
spiked:13/18c
Oceania Middle Championships (M40), 4th. This was another rather disappointing run in what hasn't been a great week for me. Somewhat scrappy, again weak up hills, and often seemed to be getting bad lines (although it's the sort of terrain which looks more open than it is, so I suspect there aren't that many good lines). Probably would have struggled to get to the placings even with a clean run, though. Bruce did 29.
Came in a bit low on 1, which I suspect was a contour or so too high (quite a few others had trouble on 2, perhaps through starting the leg in the wrong place). Fairly clean through the rest of the first half though my route to 7 wasn't great on the micro route choices. Once again a bit low on 10, but the biggest time losses, around 45 seconds apiece, were on 13 and 16 - dropped low too early on 13 (a leg where I had a lot of trouble reading the yellow), and also a bit low on 16, both of which meant crashing bits of green.
Once again this event went well and it was a good area for a middle - introducing the visitors to our rocks (they'll get many more chances to enjoy them in the remainder of this week).
