orienteering race 6:16:36 [3] 29.0 km (12:59 / km)
OMM Day 1 Black Mountains.
A cold crisp weekend in fantastic scenery
Good day for 95%, when going through rough tussocks really buggered my bad knee, very painful and a major struggle just to get to Finish and clocked up -34 points from the 410 scored despite which left us 16/ 240 which I don't think is too bad for 124 year old knees.
Started well, lots of choice and we made a good analysis of possible routes, taking southerly option. Kept quite low and good running, going well in relatively balmy conditions but behind where we needed to be at 2 hours so took shorter option.

Still too far from finish at 3/4 hours but not many options and terrain, climb and decent all tougher now but doing ok at 5.30 hours we were 50 mins away and decided to go straight omitting 2 controls 30 points. This gamble failed as it was horrid and I hit the knee issue …...
