Out to Beeley via Hillsborogh. Then back most of the way. Felt better on the way back than I did on way out.
Orienteering race (Beeley Middle - Black) 41:43 [4] ***** 5.2 km (8:01 / km) +255m 6:27 / km
spiked:20/26c shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 330 Yellow 2
Aims for the day: 1.) get under 45mins. 2.) Not get passed by TomF, my 2 min man. 3.) Try and have a bit of a race! Managed all 3.
Beeley was so nice today, dry and with low brambles! Running pretty well throughout, but struggled a bit on the hills (esp. to 17), and only got caught in one rogue bramble - makes a change! Pretty clean, only a few minor mistakes/little hesitancies in area with many pits (i.e. leg 3)
3/8 - Bit slow due to checking off features. 30secs in total
18 - dropped down a bit early, checking off features. 20secs.
19 - didn't really get things matched up here, 45secs.
20 - should have just run for the most western path, but got caught up in trying to relocate in the no-mans land between tracks. Then was too south of the circle. (Idiotic dog walker telling me which way everyone else was going). 1min through both mistakes.
25 - thought I'd followed a straight line from the wall well, but was a lot lower than anticipated. 40secs.
26 - far too high to the wrong thicket, due mainly to direction out of 25.
realy enjoyed it, Oing well. Could have got under 40 though ;) Lets see how I get on on an area I've not sussed out tomorrow!
