orienteering race (SAOC middle) 46:55 [4] 5.1 km (9:12 / km) +215m 7:36 / km
shoes: inov8 O-rock 280
Really dissapointed with the run, could have had a really awesome result, but for 1 stupid route choice mistake. GPS measured 6.5km
#1. Cut across the rough open area too early (15 second)
#3. Ended up too far right of the feature (15 second)
#9 1st headed to the rocks further left and then to control ( 15 seconds)
#10 lost my bearing a bit while trying to cross the stream and headed too far left of and too high of the control (30 seconds)
#11 headed to the upper cliff 1st ( which also had a control) and then realised my mistake and had to go down to mine ( 20 seconds)
#12 ( big mistake! ) Tried to cut a bit of distance by crossing through the undergrowth, but ended up losing my bearing and heading through the really thick green stuff. I eventually found my way out of it and was then quite far north and west of the contol ( 6-7 minutes)
#13 went right past the control ( within 10m) and then had to backtrack (1min)
#19 the legs were really dying here going up through the uneven terrain, so pretty slow and then also headed off to the wrong rootstock ( which also had a control). ( 45 seconds)
