TT Sprint
Happy to have won! Not beautiful orienteering, not yet full speed, but for March and having a bad sore throat, ok.
Started in a minor kerfuffle due to having grabbed the wrong control descriptions (9 Red instead of 7 Green J/ 10 F 21+), but I realized as I took the map from the map bin, so sorted out in time.
1 - Ok, slightly disturbed passing by the very early uncrossable fence without really noticing, but then everything added up.
2 - Easy, went right.
3 - Again easy, read ahead to 4 and 5.
4- Fine on way there, then ran by it and had to turn around! Just a few paces.
5- Fine.
6- Saw that I had to go south and around, but then was too scared to cross the biggish wall-fence even though it was marked as crossable. Bad.
7 - Fine.
8 - Went back down the super-steep hill I went up to get to 7. Perhaps not as good as right route choice without super steepness? Unsure.
9 - Good.
10 - Worst leg! Saw that the closest maybe-way through was a trap, but not the next narrow passage to the left, so attempted that and lost a bunch of time.
11 - Chasing down Alison, unhappy to have lost time to her on 10.
12-13-14 - All fine.
16 - Wrong route choice, Alison caught me again (I went right, she went left). A bit longer my way.
17 - Fine.
18 - Went right, but looks pretty equal?
19 - 20 Fine.
21 - Blah! Did not see the trap at all! So got to the wall E of 21 and stopped and stressed and then ran around north.
22 - Fine.
23 - Read control description carefully, saw it was in N inner corner, thus up, so correctly went over bridge.
24 - Initially thought ropes course was a graveyard, quickly figured out.
