Orienteering race (COC Long Distance) 1:35:03 [4] 8.74 km (10:53 / km) +207m 9:44 / km
Wentworth Ski hill, 1.5km walk up hill to the start and then a wind back down to the ski lodge. Most of the climb loss was in the last couple of controls.
First few controls in subtle contour detail which was very hard to see with the veg cover and low visibility. A few small errors picking the right features but reasonable through that section. Then a long ~2km leg to #7 took the track option before crossing a creek and a steep climb up to a small cliff. Seemed to all go OK but I did not go high enough and then started to convince myself that the small gullies were the mapped one. Took about 10-15mins to sort it out and find the control. Good from there through to the finish.
Time loss saved me from a place and having to lug a prize candle around for the next 8 weeks.
Hot and 100% humid again but the energy level stayed up OK.
