orienteering race 47:08 [5] 3.9 km (12:05 / km)
Middle, back in the idyllic forest, just the humps this time with pretty much the first start. 62nd +17.44. Hit no 1 one well with good control but missed no 2, a little left but lost over a minute. For most of the rest of the course navigated and ran really quite well. Alas there were a couple of exceptions, seeing the block of green adjacent to the control I abandoned map reading and ran to it. In retrospect its neither in the right place or direction and bad went to worse...…..10.43 taken and 6.25 lost. Going to 6 the easiest leg I ran on the compass to a feature adjacent to a path and stamped 90, sadly my control was 80. Relocated but was a long, long, way out. Post race it was clear I had set compass on a pesky invisible ride rather than a north line -another self inflicted wound, with 4 mins lost and 75/80th. In the end the good bits did mean I had avoided relegation......just
