Orienteering race (Wimbledon Common) 34:37 [5] *** 5.5 km (6:18 / km) +80m 5:52 / km
spiked:23/25c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340 IV
SLOW SE Middle Champs - Black - Wimbledon Common
Lots of paths, some nice forest, some undergrowth. Good planning & changes of direction. Felt ok, chest still a bit sore but able to push on at the end. Nav was ok, not always reading ahead and concentration dipped a bit in the middle and a bit sloppy/lucky on a few controls. Don't think I relied on paths too much but 2 main errors were due to (quite big) unmapped paths.
Mistakes ~2:30min
(5)(1:30) - Unmapped path, went to wrong hill/spur
(16)(0:15) - Exit from c15 bananaed route
(18)(0:15) - RC tried to avoid bog but should have gone straight
(21)(0:30) - Another unmapped path, started hunting too soon
