Orienteering race 2:01:52 [4] ***** 15.9 km (7:40 / km) +520m 6:35 / km
31c shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295
JK, Day 3, Braunton Burrows, Classic.
What a crap day.
Caught my 3minute man at the 1st control and was with him until 2. Didn't get either too cleanly but ok considering. No. 3 was an absolute disaster, started in the right direction then swung left and thought I was in the right area, made things fit, finally relocated off the water station near 17. 14 was the next control where I lost a bit of time, probably lost some time in a few circles but nothing serious. I stopped slightly short of 14 but no real time lost. 17 should have been easy but lost a bit of time again. Made a mistake at 23, knew where I was for most of the leg but just lost concentration I think. The last few controls went fine. 2 lads caught me at the 2nd last control and they punched the last control ahead of me, for some reason they didn't take the direct route to the finish so I gained a few seconds on them.
Very disappointed with the run today, mainly because of the mistake at 3. Running wise I was fine, but pain in my calf limited my running speed, but not seriously. Not that tired afterwards but still had pain.
