Orienteering race (SL 5 (Long)) 58:33 [5] **** 7.94 km (7:22 / km) +115m 6:52 / km
spiked:7/9c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 350
Another good run making it 3 for the weekend! Deb and I both managed 3 placing, with a win each, out of 3 events!
A much improved run on this area than at QBIII a couple of years ago with only a minor mistake at #1 then another at #6 when I found #7 first (about 150m - I actually felt I was too far right when running but didn't correct enough). Those errors plus my lack of fitness (on the long track leg to #2 especially) meant I was 2 minutes behind James in 2nd place but still very happy with the result today and overall for the weekend. Distance is by my Garmin, course distance was 6.3km.
A great weekand of Orienteering organised by the Newcastle club: good maps, great courses and excellent organisation - thanks again for the early starts today to allow us to get away home! Well done and thanks.
