Orienteering 1:32:38 [3] 9.4 km (9:51 / km)
Vic Long Champs, Creswick Diggings.
Pretty happy with my run, but brought back down to earth by the big gap between 4th and 5th place!
Started fine, got a bit confused at 5 and the random dog that was running around didn't lead me to the control, which was disappointing. Lost a bit of time in the detail at the end of #8 by just assuming I was where I thought I was despite it not making sense. Then slogged through the spur gully controls. Jim came through me leaving #11 and it was good to have someone to chase, who didn't disappear immediately. Went out and around 17-18 but a) didn't nail exit direction and only found the road at the campground, and b) had an aborted attempt to get in to 18 but the bracken was over my head.
I think I need to practise orienteering more.
