Orienteering race (Pretoria Botanical) 25:26 [5] *** 3.64 km (6:59 / km) +115m 6:02 / km
ahr:148 spiked:20/23c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 Orange
Urban Series race at PBG.
Started in the seeded group, but drawn for first start. Bad start as I stopped for 5-10 secs on way to 1 to get to grips with the map in this short leg. Then a good section over tough nav and terrain until 12 where Tim caught me (+3 min). I overran 13 but distracted him as well and I relocated first. Kept him at bay for another 1.5 controls before he pulled away. Had a final mistake at 21 where I cut in too quickly off a path and ended up hacking in green on the wrong part of a rocky ridge. This final one was about 30s, so about 1 min lost in total through the course.
Otherwise I was quite happy with my result and speed. Finished 2nd behind Tim, about 5 mins down, but 4 mins ahead of Paul in 3rd. The results are probably one of the most stretched out in Sprint Series history in Gauteng!
