Orienteering race (B meet) 1:47:50 [3]
shoes: Inov 8 Oroc 340 GTX
Last Sunday B-meet of the season @ P7 set by Steve and Jennie
Long Advanced 15 controls 5.8 km
Got a lift from Errol to the meet
- Lost about 10 minutes on 2...I was within a few meters of the control and couldn't see it plus I wasn't really used to the scale at the start so I had expected to travel much further...after doing a loop and re-entering the woods from the same spot on the trail from the north I saw it right away
- lost about 10 minutes on 10 largely because I didn't follow through with my plan and tried to take a short cut along the ridge ...relocating back to the trail and using the trail junction I found the control right away.
-14-15 sloppy and the downhill run from 15 painful in spikes probably not an exceptionally fast kick
-6-7 cutting across the bearing was solid and hit the control right on but I suspect I would have been faster on the trail.
Prettymuch last place when we left
Andrew used my watch so no GPS
Thanks for all the effort and last minute changes you both went through
