Urban Orienteering race 17:06 [5] 2.6 mi (6:35 / mi) +15m 6:28 / mi
Nairn sprint (Blue start) =10th, 17.06
Was a bit concerned about the amount of off road, i.e sand dunes, and I was right, this cost me a top 5 thanks to one mistake. Nailed the rest of it and the pace was good.
#5 - #6, hit 5 from the road to south, knew then that 6 was slightly west of north, and (so I thought) adjusted accordingly. Forgot to take into account road into 5 was slightly SE so I had actually gone due N from 5. Faffed around in sand dunes for about a minute, didn't panic but probably should have realised what I had done in about half the time.
Slight error to #9 turned in to uncrossable wall from road - had to back out and come in from south.
From this point was holding someone off on the red start which I managed. One slight hesitancy in eastern park section.
Even managed a sprint finish!
Highlight was the cat sat obliviously at #4, unfuffled by the chaos around it
