Straight line distance 5.1km. Needless to say I was HOPELESS. The terrain was very tough for me and the map hard to read in places, but I just magnified that with some pretty useless orienteering. Had decided to skip the second last after overshooting and was almost back to the finish when I turned back to get it, not sure why.
Quite cold and wet out there too, on a positive note I did finish before 10pm.

A bit better today, started well but then lost loads of time wandering off track on a long leg. Took the direct route on the following leg as a result and I did not have the strength or fitness for that so suffered a bit of lack of oxygen to the brain at the end of the leg. After that I was ok - shorter legs and reading the detail - definitely more my thing.
Overall had a great time despite coming last. While I can blame lack of fitness for being slow, I also showed a fair lack of good technique for this stuff... Oh well, I'd better come back soon for some more practice :)
Aoife really enjoyed the experience as well which is quite a turn up!

Quite a bit scrappier today (me and the terrain),still fabulous! Made a few radical route choices again today just to enjoy myself (nothing to lose as I am 2nd last).
Had a panic attack on the way to the start when I noticed my start time printed on the number was about 80 minutes ago... Luckily the number had the wrong times.
