Orienteering race 38:28 [4] **** 5.1 km (7:33 / km)
spiked:12/13c shoes: VJ Twister
The north part of Inchmarnoch has turned into a great wee area. If only there weren't the fences and the road, with the hill the whole place would be fantastic..just need somewhere to park too.
Lots of people, SEDs included, overwhelmed the organisation but not sure anyone minded too much. Just a small amount of competition on the longest green course. Seemed like a chasing start with folk heading off at short intervals - kept seeing folk which was fun.
Stomach a bit iffy but went pretty well: tentative to 1 and 2, wrong depression at 3, then 4 & 5 good, great running along the ridge above the River Dee to 6, then 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 pretty smooth, with some hesitation at 12 before no problems with 13.
He might be younger, he might be fitter, and have better eyesight and might be pretty good but not sure I can get my mind round how Scotia could do it in 27-28. Unbeleivable. No idea what other folk did.
Later:
SF: 27:35
9th/50 happy enough given the folk there.
