Running - Road/Track (Funchal lido) 33:12 [3] 5.44 km (6:06 / km) +88m 5:39 / km
(injured) (sick) shoes: Brooks Ravenna 9
Scrounged a map from the Kimberleys as they had run out of Lido maps, and went for a pre-breakfast jog to get used to the scale and get back into O after not running for a while. It was 1:2000 and the controls came up extremely fast. Couldn't access the best part of the area since it was too early in the morning and it wasn't open!
Hot.
Hot.
Orienteering - Urban race (Funchal sprint) 17:54 [5] 3.51 km (5:06 / km) +57m 4:43 / km
(injured) (sick) shoes: Brooks Ravenna 9
5th - got a medal, and to stand next to the podium. Nice.
Really good sprint race. Hadn't been sure beforehand about the extent of the area, but they had closed a road (police at both ends and road blocks) so they could use the areas on both sides. They didn't bother mentioning this in the final details, though (there were no final details...)
Foot slowing me down (and general lack of fitness slowing me down) but not enough to influence the positions I don't think, which was good.
A couple of bad choices;
3 - confused by unmapped steps (literally every single other set of steps is mapped) and so had to climb a (crossable but high) wall
8 - very bad route choice, basically the two sides of a right-angled triangle rather than the hypotenuse
11 - steps slow me down more than I think - I need to remember this
17 - as 11
19 - very circuitous route through the olive trying not to go in it
23 - confused (as was Jack, and several others) by contour lines going in between black lines of steps and making the three lines look like a thick one.
24 - tried to leave 23 by dead end
Couple of other minor ones - makes it sound like a bad run - but most of those were a few seconds at most. Really enjoyed it. Hot, though.
