Orienteering race 1:04:59 7.5 km (8:40 / km) +155m 7:51 / km
ahr:166 max:174
Big 5 O Day 3, M21E (WRE Middle), Elandshoogte, north of Ngodwana.
Legs still tired 2 days after the 3-hour long race, plus the race was at 2000m altitude, so I felt sluggish. Was finding the controls OK until #6, which I missed by only 20m but then went a long way down the valley trying to find it. Cost me about 3 mins.
Also took the straight route on the long leg, which might have been a mistake, and got caught up in the scrappy semi-open stuff. Some slight misses later on, so overall not a very good run.
Still, the sun is still shining, the weather is warm, and the views from the top were amazing. Perhaps the highest orienteering race I've ever run.
