Orienteering race 36:08 [5] **** 5.2 km (6:57 / km) +195m 5:51 / km
18c shoes: New sneakers
JK Middle on Leith Hill.
Steady to the first 3 controls to get into the map. Then it became quite technical, I thought I'd take a safe route into c4 but it wasn't very safe it turned out and I lost 40secs. 5 and 6 were a bit hesitant but ok, then I lost 1min at c7! (bad exit out of c6). Got it together after that (lost a bit at c15, again bad direction) and was reasonably happy with 7th place. A hail storm picked up as I was running into the last control and the long run-in was a nightmare, couldn't open my eyes, using my map and hand to shield my face and try to make it to the finish. Most atrocious conditions I've ever run in (was wearing thermals and gloves of course but not enough to stay warm).
