Orienteering race 59:00 [3] *** 7.0 km (8:26 / km) +195m 7:24 / km
spiked:13/19c
CSC at Gilling Woods. 4mins down on Women Open.
Well planned course, lots of route choice. Remembered to have a plan for every single leg & know exactly what processes I was going to use. Seemed to struggle to keep speed in the greener trees, sliced my arms a lot and didn't seem to get very far. Thanks Ebor. Definitely took the wrong route to number 6. Then was too hesitant to 10, too far right at 13 and got stuck in the green whilst trying to contour to 17, which I thought was the best thing, but seemed to just be in endless holly bushes and not actually progressing.
Need to get a little bit stronger in the terrain and be more disciplined with my compass still, but feeling a million times fitter than at Christmas and enjoying orienteering again even if I don't do brilliantly :)
