Orienteering race 51:18 [5]
Oban 2011 - Day 5
Loch Nell and Shenavallie
Didn't get off to a great start when 10steps from the start line I slipped and got my backside muddy, then took another step and fell flat on my face! Overshot the first control, was slightly low. After that it picked up and I caught Julia at #6 who unfortunately unknown to me also had a punching start 2mins before me which was a shame cos otherwise I would have left a bigger gap. Managed to stay ahead till #9 where I got the direction of exit wrong for 5steps which was enough for her to punch behind me and be off. Stopped short on #15 which is very unlike me, totally lost focus and if I'd just looked up I would have seen the control, which I only did after I'd wasted a minute. Came 2nd.
