Orienteering 59:21 [5] 11.28 km (5:16 / km) +289m 4:40 / km
Scottish 6 days, day 4 M21E - Darnaway
Arrived at start 40mins early, woops. Had rushed, and couldn't find o-gear, so used spare SI, spare compass, no descriptions, so wasn't checking any codes - risky.
Had that long stride, easy moving, fast running feel at the start, so orienteering was nice. Was a little more careful on 5, as it got trickier.
Caught Ivan at 6, and Jack at 7. Tucked in, and planned 9.
Picked it up & dropped the guys to 9, on semi-different route. Wasn't much of a drop though and Jack was back with me after different routes on 10.
Distracted by extra track on 12, and had a bit of a shocker, lost 30-45s.
Ivan caught up then, but he messed up 13, so I ran solo from here on.
More agrressive orienteering through to 18 or so, and running well, but more cautious back to 19 and there onwards as I got a little more tired. This maybe cost me a minute or so, but maybe worth it.
Good performance, good result, Ola Martner did ~51 I think.
Hit a control on the spur beside number 1 though, mispunch, bad result. Still mostly pleasing.
