Orienteering 46:38 [3] 5.52 km (8:27 / km) +125m 7:35 / km
First Night race for a while! There is no denying it, I orienteer like an old man now; steady, few mistakes, nae pace. Plenty of wee misses, nothing major.
Bit slow off the start, got to 1 just as Jamie was coming back towards it having missed. A recurring theme this... Just trying to keep in touch for the next few, not helped by having to tie my shoelace at 4. Also a recurring theme... This let Jamie get back past having missed... 5 was tricky so dithered about there for a bit with Ben and young Molloy. Carried on ahead (of them at least) towards 7 and pretty much on my own from there round the loops. Stopped to tie my shoelaces a couple of times and Jamie got back past having missed... Starting to feel calf a little now so running even more defensively than before. Got back to the central control just down on Ben, closed the gap but then was squiffy round the control pick at the end and he got 30 seconds on me. Surprisingly this didn't let Jamie get back past...
Great fun! Loved the Jukola style start!
