Orienteering race (SOC Regional) 59:30 [4] 11.62 km (5:07 / km) +185m 4:45 / km
shoes: VJ Supra
Fritham Plain. Brown course 10.5km (no black).
I had a last-minute offer of a lift from Charles last night, so who was I to say no?
Another very cold day, with much of the forest's standing water totally frozen over - fortunately I took my metal dobs because my Inov8s were soaking from last night.
A good course, on the same area as the Nov Classic 2009. On the whole not a bad run, just a small number of misses totalling 3 mins:
#4: 30 secs cos I stopped at an unmapped hide near the actual one;
#5: 30 secs wrong bend in track, wrong small clearing and wrong gulley;
#6: 20 sec poor compass work;
#9: 20 sec poor compass work;
#17: 1:20 poor compass work and found the wrong control in a marsh SW of the right one.
Got beaten by a very fast Jonny Crickmore and Dale Paget who was apparently looking over his shoulder for me for the whole race. Equalled Clive to third place and snuck in 35 sec safe from being Benned, so I'm pretty pleased with that.
