Event: Big 5 O Week
11 AM
Running 13:01 [3] 1.62 km (8:02 / km) +47m 7:01 / km
Orienteering race 42:59 [3] 6.05 km (7:06 / km) +112m 6:30 / km
Big 5 O, Day 1, Paradise Berg. M50, 5km, 105m, 3rd.
Having read the details, and seen some of the area from our hotel window, I expected this to be quite like The Rockery at Kaapschehoop used at the Big5 4 years ago. In many ways, it was. Careful navigation in the rocky parts was required.
My route to #2 was too safe and cost me time. My mistake at #6 was silly - I just mis-read some bushy trees on a knoll as being ones not near my control, but in fact they were right by it.
My route to #10 was poor. I expected to relocate closer to the control, but never did. In the end I just stumbled across it, and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Without my mistakes I should have won, so I was pleased to actually be only a few seconds down on the 1st and 2nd places.
