shoes: Icebug
SE champs at Blackheath
Started well this time and in the right frame of mind, and enjoyed the run.
Made a mess of #7. It was hung just a tad low for my liking as I'd seen the pit a couple of times but not the control. But the reason I lost time was not taking an accurate bearing in from the crossroads or the ditch end - once I did that it was obvious where the control had to be. Then made a classic follow up mistake on #8, just putting my head down and trying to make up the lost time. Never a good idea, and I made a parallel error going over the wrong hilltop and hitting the track too far E.
Other than that just minor wobbles, although quite a few of them. The lesson I think is to be more diligent with the compass next time out. Seem to have done something right at #10 and #12 in particular where several others lost time. Looking at the map again those were two where I was diligent with my compass - so reinforces the lesson!

worth noting that I still felt pretty fresh jogging back, that's a good sign.

Orienteering (night) 39:06 [3] 6.0 km (6:31 / km)

Ham Lands night race
Nice run out. The warren of paths in amongst the green was tricky to navigate, so pleased to only really go wrong at #7. Also missed the shortcut at #9 - should have read the cut through more carefully as I ended up blocked.
Poor choice of footwear!
