Orienteering race (Thaba Nkwe) 1:26:28 9.7 km (8:55 / km) +410m 7:22 / km
ahr:152 max:188 weight:78.7kg shoes: Salomon Sense Ride4 #1 Blue
Brown course, 8.1km, 400m climb, 21c
Had an early start, 4th starter. Had an immediate route decision out of the start and decided to climb and get on the track asap rather than contour. Went fairly direct into #1, despite the dense green and rock, and it proved to be easier than indicated. Back out down the hill in the more open areas. Crossed the gorge and the first steep up of the day.
Exiting #2 saw James coming up from the east, through a forest patch that was decidedly light green istead of dark green. After this I decided to run more route choices through green as the vegetation was not a slow down factor, but the rockiness underfoot was.
Got to #5 to see Carl arrive there (looking for 2?) and then saw James also too high looking for #2. Never saw Sarah R, the other Brown starter ahead of me. I reversed out of 5, going back past 4 on route to 6.
Easier section for a while after that until 11, then a 5 control zigzag slog up a big hill. Managed to run a decent amount of it.
On long leg 17-18, I went as direct as possible, slightly left of centre line, whilst linking up tracks as much as possible and cutting out bends in the tracks. A few areas of medium green were actually just scattered bush.
Final leg 20-21 I went left out for the road as it looked like the straighter line was going to be quite grass/rocky. AP thinks this was a 30s mistake based on split times, despite me still winning the split... Possibly.
Overall a very steep course at about 5%. Should have been set as the Mountain Marathon instead of B'sorah in a couple weeks time.
