Orienteering race 56:57 [5] 5.1 km (11:10 / km) +140m 9:49 / km
shoes: Inov8 Orocs
Day 3 - Elandshoogte, 1:10'000
WRE middle distance.
Not a good race for me. I was feeling very tired despite the rest day and my concentration was shocking!
I got very nervous on the way to #2 when my compass starting playing up so lost a bit of time there. Got stuck in the undergrowth to #3 and then leaving #3 I got stuck in some crazy vegetation despite trying to avoid it. Anyway things settled down a bit after that and I spiked the next 6 controls. #11 was a tricky one - couldn't make sense of the detail on the slope and landed up too high. Pushed hard on the last few controls taking advantage of the rough downhills.
Marika won in 44 mins. I ended up 10th (with all the Fins joining us today), 3rd South African.
