Orienteering race (MAROC Glen Feardar) 1:21:20 [5]
shoes: VJ Twister (2)
_>5 30s
->6 90s ...I was too high
Fairly clean then until 14 where I followed MHJ too far west..another 60s and then couldn't find the needle in the haystack of crags at 15, losing loads. Then another couple of mins too far east at 17. Bad blisters by then so I walked a fair bit back up the hill to 19.
Would have been much better if controls had been staked. Tough going in the first half - partly the heat, partly the climb and partly the heather out towards 9.
Hot but cracking views all round - only wish I'd spent more time looking at them. Paddling in the Dee by the Invercauld Bridge was good after though..and the beer on the grass at the Inver Hotel too.
PS: Seems lots of others had as many problems as I did!
