Orienteering race 1:20:36 [4] *** 10.9 km (7:24 / km) +455m 6:07 / km
18c shoes: New sneakers
JK Long at Ashdown Forest.
For starters, it was really muddy. Fell down a really muddy bank on the way to c1, got soaked in mud including my gloves so then couldn't touch my map without getting it really muddy too. Lost a small amount of time on c2 but it seems like most people did (??). Threw my useless muddy glove away at the spectator control at 3, then struggled on to c6 where I lost a minute or so and Jen and Pippa caught me by 3 and 6mins. So not highly motivated at that point. Then did the remainder of the course plodding through the bogs and mud and snow. Shoes were a nightmare but I had no idea it would be that muddy. 14th place. Not a particularly difficult course and needed to run much more strongly obviously, but just couldn't do it.
