Orienteering 51:53 [3] 6.92 km (7:30 / km) +229m 6:26 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 b
H1 at John Forrest. Got there very late after some rain delay at Liam's tennis tournament. Thought I would try to do the H3 but saw the H2 was only 1k further I thought I should do that, then the H1 was only another 1k so hard to say no. Was tempted to stick with the H3 to knock Simmo off the top but trying to knock Oliver off the top of the H1 seemed a more worthwhile goal.
Quite an enjoyable course although I struggled a bit with all the climb in the first half and it seemed pretty straight forward so I doubted my mix of walking and jogging was going to be enough to challenge Oliver. Splits show I was correct as I only won 2 of the first 10 splits and was almost a minute behind at that stage. Won 11 of the next 14 splits after turning downhill which was enough to put me 4 minutes ahead as Oliver seems to have slowed down a bit and made a few small mistakes.
I can't remember what happened but I have a bit of a graze/bruise just below the right knee where I seem to have knocked it on something. Quite sore now but I don't think it will be a problem for long.
Was thinking more about Liam's tennis than the orienteering this morning so didn't bring all my orienteering gear. Used a hire SI card and ran without a compass. Carried descriptions in my hand rather than trying to use those on the map.
