Final of the Sprint Series at Stirrup Glen. I started late when it was getting nice and hot. Had an immediate problem getting to # 1 (60m leg length to a path junction!!!) as I lost the path and had trouble reading the map to see exactly where it should be. Most people had the same problem though. Then my biggest time loss was to # 2. I went up a green gully and should have popped out in an open valley, but found myself on a hill. Lost 1.5 mins. (Went back afterward for another look, the map is inaccurate here, with the open valley further east). Started settling down after this and started working nicely up the rankings. I managed to keep most controls clean by making 100% sure that I kept an eye on all paths on the map. Small problems at #5 (stupid over-run) and #15 (wrong route choice over a big cliff). The area posed numerous challenges as to where was the best places to cross the quarry cliffs, but I got it right most times by looking far ahead.
The end result was a win by just under 2 mins over Alex and Martin T. Nice complex orienteering, but it didn't feel much like a sprint!
HRM stats: TE 3.7, 499 kcal.
