Orienteering race 1:05:03 [4] ****
shoes: new Inov8 Roclite
5 days before FVO trip to La Santa, FVO Club Champs on Barr Wood.
Dithered for ages about whether to run the open course or act my age, eventually decided to do the longer course. Started off a bit aggressively and dropped a minute at #2, steady for a while after that although not always taking the best line and was less than 2 mins down half way round (at #8)....
...then made a route error to #9, tried to relocate with 'I've been here lots, if I go over there I will recognise it' (hmmmm) and dropped nearly 5 mins getting to a control which I must have had several times before. Not pushing so hard after that and missed a couple more too, finished 14 mins down which shows how bad the second half was. Congrats to Will who ran the second half better than anyone else and was FVO Champion for the first time!
