Newcastle Park Series 3: King Edward Park
Great course by Alex. Tough Hills (unavoidable here).
Didn't read the map carefully enough on route choice to 4, so ended up running across no less than 4 "uncrossable" retaining walls in the space of about 10 seconds. In hindsight it wasn't even the most efficient route (drop plus steep climb); my memory of them being 'crossable' when we ran here 2 years ago was also incorrect.
Request to self-disqualify dismissed by senior officials; (at least at first anyhow). No big difference, as already qualified for the final from previous 2 races.
Otherwise very little I could describe as a errors. Straighter lines or left vs right may have shaved the odd second or two, but irrelevant in the quick decision making context of sprint format orienteering.
Forgot to stop my watch at the end (and don't know how to trim the trace, yet), so shows lots of time standing / sitting around 'gas bagging' after my run.
