To the start. No time for more but walked a mile to the event as warm up anyway...
Orienteering 33:15 6.45 km (5:10 / km) +4m 5:09 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 10
Conveniently those nice people in SLOW had put a park race on at Battersea Park. Just had time for a run off first start. Took a few controls before I remembered to look for the gripples where appropriate, took a while to spot #4 in the open depression as I was looking for a stake not a flag in the back of a tree!
Only one occasion when I was caught out by heading straight towards an uncrossable fence....plus couldn't find a way into #20 through the nettles (the way in was by a flag on the ground, but that just confused me as I thought maybe the control had been vandalized!).
Also not great and lost time through the scrappy woods at 8-9-10-11 (even though 8 and 11 were the same one). It was quite gloomy in there which didn't help but was definitely not the sole cause...
