Orienteering race 1:05:33 [3] *** 9.0 km (7:17 / km)
spiked:19/25c (injured)
EBOR event in the newly mapped Skipwith Common.
Really good event and i enjoyed it loads. Because it was quite a longish course i thought i would pace myself and this worked really well. I only got tired about a km from the end ie when i made all my mistakes! i will definately pace myself more in longer races next season because i usually start out too fast and just can't cope with he distance.
Took one bad route choice an faffed about at some marshes because i didn't want to end up in up to my waist...which i did anyway! so was a waste of time really and should just have got on with it.
Really pleased with my compass work. Before summer it would have been the type of area i would have done rubbish in, but i've finally got compass sussed now thanks to my transaction from base plate to thumb.whoo!
Although on a bad note my foot has swolen up again and it makes a horrible grinding sound when i move it. nasty! Definately stopping running until it's gone. Stupid rock on Ilkley moor. Sat here with ice on.
