Orienteering race (Blaauwberg Nature Reserve) 42:32 [5] *** 5.5 km (7:44 / km) +70m 7:16 / km
20c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #2
Western Cape Middle Champs
Great area and a fairish course, but all 5 M21E runners got compacted into 10 minutes of start time with 2-min intervals. Why? This was essentially in sight as the terrain was sand dune.
Cautious start, (used #3 as AP for #1), but then lost 2 mins on #2. Only big mistake of the day though and Tim (+2) didn't catch until #16. Michael (+4) caught on the way to #19 but then messed up and lost the win to Tim.
Really fun map. I focused 99% on the contours and ignored any detail on vegetation.
