Orienteering race 40:00 [4] 6.5 km (6:09 / km)
shoes: Mudclaw
Ran off blindly and didn't relocate until over half way to number 1 (20s). Hit 2 fine but overshot 3 by a long way, looking on a western open spur, losing 1m 20s and being caught a minute. Spiked 4, losing my man again, although subsequently went almost to depression to the west of 5 (10s). Vegetation was dodgy at 6 but no time loss. Looking too early for 7 (20s). 8 and 9 ok but too far west (again!) for 10 AND 11 (10s each). Tried my best to keep up the pace through the open easy section through to 17. Significant miss at 20 (40s) being too far east for a change. Then bit of head to head until the end as I had been caught once more.
Just over 3m lost due to errors is slightly frustrating. However, pretty tough to be error free especially with 0.5m depressions and knolls. Felt I could have gone quicker had I had faster runners around as well (i.e. later start). Beautiful day, good course and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
