Orienteering race 1:02:40 [4] *** 5.8 km (10:48 / km) +270m 8:46 / km
25c shoes: Walshes
BUSA Individual, Stanton Moor
Some stupid and substantial mistakes, but ok generally I guess, as I ended up in 7th. Lost about 4.5 minutes in mistakes by the 6th control, but was much better after that, besides a few smaller silly things.
Mistakes to attempt to learn from:
Annoyed at 1, as should have just headed east from the cairn, and didn't for some reason. Lost 1min.
5- Decided I wanted to go back onto the moor after 4, which was the wrong direction altogether (180 degrees). Oops. Then totally goofed closer to the control as well. Started off on the wrong hill, then was in the valley looking for it, when all the time it was sitting on the eastern hill. Bah.
6- Path mistake, didn't go through the gate to start.
Had the fastest spit for the next-to-last control, when I ran real hard because I knew it was the end. That's nice.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Warm down- back from finish, and a bit around fields with Becky.
