Orienteering race 1:25:56 [3] 10.0 km (8:36 / km) +425m 7:05 / km
Cademuir (Peebles) SoSoL Brown course. 9th/16. First visit here. Delayed start so runners bunched up in one minute intervals. A bit shaky to #1 muddled by hazard tape on TD1 courses and unmapped bracken but ok to 3, took a good route to 4 and had caught 1&2 minute men by 5. Hesitated en route to 6 as RobL and ColinE overtook me, confused by non-green veg change, only 1 min lost. Ok route to 7 and caught RobL who'd overshot. Out to the open, good navigation but lost ground on the pack on long leg to 11. Still doing ok to 14 (6th place per splits) but lost a few places (2 mins on splits) on long slow slog up to 15 and foot starting to argue with running on edge of hillside. Clean through to the finish though, happy enough. MarkJ 72, GraemeR 82, Max 95 (but not anomalous enough to stop my 3rd best BOF ranking points of the year - 1211).
