Orienteering race 52:27 [4] 9.15 km (5:44 / km) +179m 5:13 / km
shoes: Integrator
NOC Bramcote Hills.
Not quite the quality of terrain I was in yesterday but a decent burn up with some minor technical interest over the road. Nothing much to complain about in terms of time loss, although the first control after turning over the map was an unexpected surprise which I was not prepared for.
3rd, some way down on the NOC Elite.

Sherwood Forest for some informal bearing practise. The central area is surely the best place to practise these with lovely runnable high visibility forest and lots of (GPS referenced) point features. With the live / dead oak mapping criteria there are even some decoy features to catch out the unwary...
I was noticeably hesitant having not taken a proper bearing for quite some time, but seemed to get the hang of it by the end and was usually within 10m or so (short bearings only).
Noticed a couple of dodgy bits of map at this slower pace, picking everything off.
Pleasing, but unlikely that this can be replicated in a race / more challenging terrain.

Reverse running part of the Midland Champs course, aiming for race pace.
Pretty secure, couple of small wobbles but pleased with this.

Leftovers team, decent run but felt the course could have made more of the area. 30s time loss on #8 where the overprint on the fence was woefully misrepresentative.
Team 23rd which by NGOC standards is pretty good!
