Orienteering race (Kenfig Burrow, SBOC) 39:39 [3] 4.7 km (8:26 / km)
Not had any decent orienteering for while so we made the trip out to some welsh sand dunes.
Should have taken the path to 1 instead of an easier-to-read route. Was a bit surprised at the heavy running underfoot. With large parts of the area being submerged underwater I struggled towards 2 before finding a distictive looking ridge and got into normal 'sand dune navigation' mode which I managed to keep for the rest of the course. 3 required a big flood-induced detour but found it okay. Little hesitent in the circle to 4, 5 was fine but almost overshot 6 by not concentrating on the ground I'd covered. Took the lengthy round route to 7 but it didn't feel quick. 8 was easy, 9 looked obvious from 8 but wasn't so confident in the map come the control. 10, 11, 12 okay.
Not too bad really. Would have liked a bit more in the runnable northern part but felt the flooding added a good challenge. +21s on Marcus Pinker.
UBOC trip to the beach after for a swim.
