Event: EUOC Burns Weekend - City Race - incorporating bto SOUL1 / SoSOL 4
 

Edinburgh Urban Race. 5th, +5:38 to Tessa. First non-Edinburgh resident! Wet wet wet, driving rain and 4 degrees. Wasn't very sharp in places and need to work on some aspects of urban orienteering, changing speed and looking up amongst them. Just needs more practice to get a slightly better flow. Sub-optimal route choice to 1 and possibly 24. Missed micro-route choices at 17 and 19. Lost 1.5 min at #9 in the building complex. Possibly quicker to go north out of 24 and avoid the stairs. Lost some time on 7 due to a locked gate that shouldn't have been locked. Pleased in general. Great course. The map could do with a bit of work in spots, e.g. the long, uncrossable wall east of #8 wasn't there at all, and a number of people ran straight through where it should have been. All-in-all a really good challenge.
