orienteering 58:44 [5] 8.0 km (7:21 / km) +90m 6:57 / km
Le Pignada 3
Day 1 of 3daysoftheSE
small map in Anglet. Green. for some reason here we get given maps two minutes before the start. shame, given that it was essentially PathO
very well planned, great course... shame there were three+ contours missing (or the path was misplaced) going up to number 7, and that between 10 and 11 where the path should have been approximately straight with a path joining from behind it turned into a T-junction.
AAgghh...
1st - right or left
2nd - where the hell am I cos I wasn't expecting this.
went right unfortunately... ran slowly looking at the map wondering where i could have taken a wrong turn... continued on, passed the next junction, still didn't make sense... dipped into a mini-trail and came out again... eventuall retraced my steps... found myself on the map and decided the junction was just badly mapped....
i shouldn't have lost so much time, but at the junction i was evidently not at the junction according to the map.
made a couple of small mistakes, one at 7 due to the map, at 8 because i aimed for the wrong side of the small hill, as in not the path side... and 10 metres up the wrong path on the way to thirteen.
hohum

orienteering 1:05:25 [5]
montherme - Roc la Tour
Crefcoeur won in 63:3x ... second place was two seconds faster than me, gained on the run-in. grrr.
typical ardennes terrain - at least, it was reminiscent of Belgium 2002... vague... requires map contact and careful navigation...
had a decent race. kept concentrated and didn't make any proper mistakes until the second-last control, when the sight of a wet chicken running around distracted me a little.
Shame not to have won... my own fault...
ground was rough and took its toll on my knees... both feel used, and trhe right one is a bit sore again. have to rest up before the 3days and then sweden...
lent is over... probably 37/40 days of 50 ab curls... the difference is noticeable... some arm and back strengthening too... will try to keep it up - it seems to be doing me good.
