Running warm up/down 10:00 [2]
Orienteering 20:17 [5] 3.1 km (6:33 / km) +85m 5:45 / km
shoes: The Purple Ones
EVENT: Crystal Relay
TEAM: Ross Smith, me, Peter Gagarin, Boris Granovskiy (in that order)
MAP: Antenna Hill, 1:15,000, 5m contours
TERRAIN: The start/finish was on a hilltop with relatively flat limestone/sandstone terrain, with sparse forest. There was a steep drop down from the hill to the surrounding grassy hills and forested reentrants.
MY RUN: I started off with a 3+ minute lead over everyone else due to a fantastic first leg by Ross. I knew my job was to be careful and not make any big mistakes. I did wind up making a small mistake on #3, which was a cliff in one of many close reentrants, but I figured it out quickly enough. Then, I also hesitated a bit going into #5 and #6, because both were different from what I was expecting. (In particular, #6 was mapped as a form-line hill, but when I was approaching it, all I could see was a tree with a control on it, which made me stop and check my map.) So, overall, I had no more than 1-2 minutes of hesitation/mistakes in total, which is quite good for me.
RESULTS: Our relay came in first, with both Peter and Boris keeping the lead. I had the second best time on my leg, with Marie-Cat beating me by 7 seconds. I believe this is my fastest per km time ever!
