Orienteering 1:20:39 [4] *** 3.83 km (21:05 / km)
spiked:18/23c shoes: Asics Trabuco 2018
PAPO end of year, Corsair Bay. 'Handicap' race with 1 min intervals so not long before the fast pack came through then a process of seeing familiar faces over and over again with recatching or getting recaught repeatedly by the same people. So that pushed the pace up a bit. Struggled with the off-track legs as definitely brought the wrong shoes (expecting a sprint around a park, not scrabbling up and down steep slopes in the bush - I guess visitors to Wellington may have been caught out the same way on the town belt maps in the past!). Results show I mispunched, however unlike some of the other MP's, I did FIND all the controls, there was just one I was unable to visit! (A particularly steep slope that I got to just after the elite pack had swept away any leaf litter that my flat shoes might have got some purchase on)
