Orienteering race (Hampstead Street O) 59:24 [4] 12.5 km (4:45 / km) +50m 4:40 / km
ahr:163 max:182 shoes: White Asics
Night street event in North London. Picked a fairly conservative route due the debacles of the last couple, however I didn't notice the scale was a lot larger (1:7500) than previous so the loop was far too small - by the time I hit #9 I was about 75% through after 25 minutes! So reasessed the loop and got all the longer running ones in the south-east corner. Ended up getting 26/30 of the controls - if I'd planned properly to begin with I reckon I would have had a good chance of getting them all.
Fastest pace yet for a street event, considering I wasted considerable time (at least +1 minute) at 6 of the controls, I'm pretty happy with how my speeds improving. My km splits for the second half were faster than the first half, where at the first couple of events I did late last year I began to fade after about 40 mins - very good!
Great area, the northeastern corner where most of the controls were located was a maze of narrow streets and narrower alleyways with some tricky entrances - heaps of fun.
