Orienteering race 1:01:09 [5] 6.8 km (9:00 / km) +70m 8:33 / km
KFO SOL 1 2014, Devilla Forest, Short Brown, 6.8 km (70m). First serious forest race of the year, and I'm so pleased with a virtually clean run and for pushing pretty hard all the way. I was hoping for 57 mins and expecting 62 mins, and so pleased with 61:09 (2nd M45, almost 4 mins down on M45 winner Ben Stansfield 57:28, but a huge 11 mins behind M50 winner Jon Musgrave 50:24). Perhaps I could have run a bit harder, and perhaps I should have cut out onto the tracks on a couple of legs I ran in terrain (1-2 and 12-13), but overall I'm happy with a decent start to the SOL series.
