orienteering race (Twigham OY) 1:37:53 [4] 12.3 km (7:57 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2140
I decided a while ago that I'd run the M21 course because I really enjoy orienteering at Twigham, and I'm glad I did so. There's something about running through the mallee on a bearing, peering through the trees for a shallow gully to open out in front of you, which is really satisfying! Gerry made good use of the water drop as a pivot control which we came through 3 times. We had shorter legs early on, which I did pretty cleanly except for being slightly off when it came to finding the tiny rockfaces in the circle, then some long legs later in the course which made me think that the map may have been better at 1:15 000, because then I could have thumbed it more closely and my bearings wouldn't have been so dodgy (got in some relocation practice - oops).
This seemed way easier than last Sunday, can't think why! Not dissatisfied with my time in relation to Simon's 65 min, but I'd say 90min would have been a perfectly clean run for me.
