Running warm up/down 10 [3] 1.2 km (8 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon Aug 2015
Had to run to the start. Again. Big queues for punching starts after all the parking issues but managed to get there 2mins before my start time and go on time.....
Orienteering race 1:04:58 [5] 7.75 km (8:23 / km) +163m 7:35 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon Aug 2015
Day 2, Glen Strathfarrar, 32nd place
Winner Stefano Maddalena 51:10
Still putting on descriptions at the start, dropped a minute bashing bracken to #1.
Late start though and made good use of the big tracks after that, two wobbles in the circle but generally good and pushing hard, caught Fraser at #12.
Got into the last bit with tricky controls in green, nailed the first one, pushed on and made a 90s mistake at the next.
Course basically over from there so legged it....into the wrong block and into total confusion! Went a long way too far, in the end had to exit the forest and run down a track back to the correct crossing point!
A full 5 mins dropped here and down from 14th to 32nd in the final short section. D'oh!
