14min behind Grant. My foot was still good this morning so decided to give the middle distance race a spin and the foot held up great but unfortunately my navigation didn't! After a pretty clean first half I was in 2nd about 3min adrift of Grant. Then the mistakes started coming ... 30s on 8 and 50s on 9, the easiest controls on the course, 30s on 10, 4min on a shocker on 13, and 1.5min on 15.
Wasn't orienteering as nicely as at Sandhills a couple of weeks ago - not navigating ahead or route planning as well - but the first half of the course makes me feel I'm improving.
