orienteering 1:20:20 [3] 4.9 mi (16:24 / mi)
Yes very slow. Very very cautious ( and hence very slow) on way to first control as had never been on a gold mining map. Trying to work out how features were mapped. Of course would've been much faster just to run to road and then go more cautiously. Stuffed up number 4, not having enough caution in control circle, easily distraced by others, and had difficulty reading features in the depression ( and there were so many of them, to me, within the control circle area). No major major errors by my standards after that, just my usual sloppiness.
Once I stopped feeling in awe of the extra gold mining features, I really enjoyed them, it was like running in a museum! Noticed my left calf was getting sore and felt tight - put it down to the rowing machine at the gym and particularly to riding a too small bike to town and back on Wednesday including half of old belair road. Bit sore all afternoon.
