orienteering race (Coalfield Classic) 41:49 [4] 4.6 km (9:05 / km)
shoes: HH
hard 7 - M60 (nominal 3.7km)
started cautiously, because of change of scale from Uni map, & well-developed track network. Kept reasonable map contact until run into spectator control, then mentally put map away for the last part of the leg - turned right instead of left coming out of the greener part of the forest & found I was 100m away from control.
Cramped in both calves approaching the final control, so the run across the open finish chute was slow & ungainly - was barely gaining on W65 who was not going very fast at all - it's times like that when you realise that feelings of effort and pain (with little result) are not necessarily visible to anyone else.
