Orienteering Racing race 1:08:13 [4] 11.5 km (5:56 / km)
ahr:162 max:183 shoes: IOV8 - Roclite 290
MLS Bulford Ridge - Brown
Physically tough course. I felt pretty exhausted from quite early on and my navigation was not as good as it should have been. My main aim today was to focus on flow in and out of the control.
First error came at number 3 - over shot the area of wood and chose a rather green way back to the control.
Route choice was poor at 15 leading to missing the control. I thought it was in a shallow depression but was in fact on a path. Highlighted the importance of using the control descriptions.
19 to 20 I missed a small path marked on the map which could have saved me 2 minutes and lot of energy!
Some good lessons learnt. Definitely need to get the balance between moving fast into and out of the control but also checking the small detail on the map and improving my route choice.
