Orienteering race (Derdepoort) 20:54 [4] 3.3 km (6:20 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 272 Red #1
Ran 1st leg for the ROC Mens team for GOC Relays at Derdepoort. Easy nav in the park to start with. I had a longer gaffling that put me behind Jess, Paul and Nick de Klerk. Caught them and them started pulling away on the second third. Made a small over shoot on the back stretch, then got to the hill and messed up trying to find a track into my control. Lost about a minute. Then lost more time on the next one at a boulder next to a quarry. Got badly tangled in some Lantana looking for it. Lost 2 more mins and was recaught by Maria. Got back to the finish after that in 1st, about 20s ahead of Tuks-O.
Alex extended the lead on the 2nd leg and Eugene could cruise home on the last for a comfortable win, the 3rd in a row. :-)
Lovely to run the relay here. Some nice challenging sections for a change rather than park sprint racing. Pretty nice planning, but maybe too long and hard for the older folk.
