Orienteering race 37:14 [5] 5.44 km (6:51 / km) +230m 5:39 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon 2013
VHI Relay.
M/W/M relay last leg, with Steve Whitehead and Lucy Wiegand.
Team finished in 4th place.
Gaffles were 4.6k-4.8k. I had 4.8k. Inevitably.
Set out in third with Roger for Scotland 8mins ahead and Rich Barrett for Wales 5mins ahead.
Nick B set off right behind me apparently and had much shorter initial gaffle at 1/2/3 so was immediately ahead and I never saw him until the finish, had no idea he had passed.
Caught by Will for Scotland2 on the way to #7 (think I lost time contouring through the skanky light green to 6, instead of the shorter route to stay in the white and climb/descend).
Still had him in sight, just about, at end of long leg back across the valley to #9, but turned the wrong way along the slope and lost a minute.
Pushed on and descending to #12 there was Will again looking confused on the slope.
Nervous times when I overran my #13 and dropped 30s, but made it to the finish ahead, with the rapidly-closing Duncan a few seconds behind and Will maybe another 20s back.
Last year I took over behind Rich and then Nick passed us both. Pretty much the same this year except it was 2nd-4th instead of 1st-3rd, Rog well clear in the lead this year.
Better than yesterday. But still two unnecessary mistakes.
