Orienteering (BOK Gallopen) 1:08:11 [3]
Overall I am pleased with how this went but can't help feeling I wasted a good oppurtunity.
Basically first control was so soon and relatively technical and I lost 4mins on a 1min control as I was searching the wrong area. Then lost focus to 3 partly because of the mistake at 1 and Matt caught me (6 mins).
Then spent the rest of the course battling it out with him, I think it would be fair to say it was a pretty equal affair with me just edging him out, particularly at the end when I dropped him after the spectator control and got clear in the loop.
Also me and Matt took a couple different route choices but met up at the control.
Annoyed I could have easily beat Ben Chesters without my mistakes early on but oh well. Had a quick look at splits and it just looks like he is not on form rather than making a big mistake like me.
