Orienteering race 1:19:32 [5] 11.59 km (6:52 / km) +387m 5:53 / km
shoes: VJ Integrators
Southern Champs, my last stab at M50, & my 3rd silver medal!
Very tough, Devils Punchbowl & Hindhead, 8.7km, 570m !!!!! 79:32
3 pints & a curry the night before wasn't the best prep, and again I felt shitty 1st thing. Maxed out on coffee etc.
Started 4 mins ahead of Nigel Bunn, but as I was making few errors, (tho later I noticed i had made some route choice errors), I assumed he wouldn't trouble me - and about 5 controls were "lucky" - and I got lucky enough! That was blown to bits as he crashed past me just after no 16 (I'd been running 73 minutes by then!!!!), looking like a man possessed. I had no answer, and slowed to a jog before pulling myself together & giving chase, yes he helped me on the last 2 controls, & finished 4 seconds ahead on the run in. OMG! Pete Ward 73mins. As expected....
6th on course i think, 3rd M50 behind Nigel ~& Chas, and second again. Great to see Alan Velecky in 3rd (in southern champs). I'm #notawinner and #neverwillbe.
Highlight of w/e definitely last night - curry & beers in Hindhead / ! Cheered me right up after a difficult week.
Result. https://www.southernnavigators.com/results-archive...
Splits - won some legs, woweee.
