Up the long track to the start at Birsemore..and wandering back from the Finish.
Orienteering race (DNC 9 - Birsemore) 1:07:09 [3] 5.8 km (11:35 / km) shoes: VJ Twister (2)
Quality night-O, shame about the navigation.
Nice warmish night. very wary of no1 so took it carefully although lost a bit of time in the initial fight and was across the big track without noticing..picked off the rentrant and marsh and straight in to control. Too high at 2 and initially met the pack of AT, EH and JR. JR disappeared for good around 9 but was with EH for most, with AT catching us up when EH, JR and I made a real hash of 7. For the rest he was probably Orienteering the best of us. Lost some time in a lot of places most particularly at 7 (?5 mins) and 13 (2 - 3 mins+). Fun in the variable pack but probably would have done better without it...very very sloppy at times.
Shocking..too much S&C at home and other stuff to do to make the real O at Glen O'Dee but managed what seemed like a pretty rapid half hour in the garage. Unfortunately there's no comparison.
