Orienteering race (Hawequas) 18:20 [5] *** 2.9 km (6:19 / km) +90m 5:28 / km
13c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #2
Ran for ROC as 2nd leg runner behind Michele and ahead of Eugene.
Michele had a decent run, handing over to me in +/- 6th, at the back of a loose bunch. Managed to pick these teams off within the first 3 controls, moving up to 3rd. No problems on any of the controls despite some being nicely technical. Passed WITSOC for 2nd at about #7 then focused on extending the gap for Eugene. Eugene also had a good run and mantained the place. Unfortunately RACO were way too far ahead.
Bit of trouble at the end as I was DSQ'ed for 'cheating' by not punching the finish emit block before tagging Eugene in the change over (instead of the other way round). Honestly, if I'd seen the punch unit or remembered in time that we needed to punch, I would have. We appealed to the Jury and were reinstated (no flags on the control, nothing in final Bulletin or in official rules, nor any precedence as this has happened before with no blame on the competitor).
Anyway, another nice run and a very pleasing result.
