Orienteering race 54:14 [3] 4.0 mi (13:34 / mi)
(injured)
O Festival ERDF Savoie Grand Revard (alongside WOC 2011).
Day 1, Les Gouilles (WOC Long Qual. area). H45, 4.6km, 255m.
I was somewhat nervous about this: dodgy calf and reports of very tricky and rough terrain but with no chance to do any training. My calf was OK to start, but was hurting by no 2 and pretty sore by the end, reducing me to somewhat of a hobble. I was careful with the navigation and took safe routes where possible and so avoided the big errors that many were making. Quite pleased with my result; 5th out of just under 200. Winner took 50 minutes. Calf stiffened up badly afterwards and worried that might have been the end of my week's racing.
