Orienteering race (TUT) 22:08 [4] 3.7 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: Salomon 3D S-Lab Red/Yel #3
Tshwane U. of Tech. 1:4'000
I had a poor race. Started early so that I could help out at the finish, but this didn't seem to work out for me. Felt sluggish and split times showed no urgency. Being first off meant that I didn't get the advantage of seeing #1 and #2. Only 1 mistake, at #19, where I lost 10+ seconds by not reading the map well. Finished 5th, behind Michael, Jeremy, Alex and Tim. Cobus also faster, but got Dsq'ed. Stijn and Eugene right behind me. I think I was expecting to be up to 2 mins faster, GPS shows a big drop off in speed in 2nd half. So, a pretty disappointing placement that requires some thinking and season strategy readjustment.
Otherwise a nice balanced course design with some interesting route choices. Phenomenal time by Michael. 3.5 mins ahead of me, 2 mins ahead of 2nd.

Rode out via Eco Boulevard, following the reverse route of the Denel 21 road race. Then out to Centurion, Swartkops, Roohuiskraal and back. Looks like Denel hadn't picked up all the water sachets along Nelmapius. :-(
