Event: South African Orienteering Championships
 

Had an alright race. Started fast as usual and had a good leg to the first control. Thought that I would risk going straight from 1 to 2 but it wasn't worth it at all, wasn't really mapped as close to what it was on the ground (it was fight all the way).

Had caught Eugene at this point so used him to 3 (he did go quite far toward 4 though before just running along the path. Little bit too far to the right to 5 but then saw the small knoll with the control. Hesitated a little into 6. 9 I decided to stop early because I had just passed Nic and felt like I was going too far. The loops of road here were confusing but the control was easy enough in the end. Lucky through the green to 11 and saw N de Klerk coming into the control from the bottom so I knew it was mine. Good leg to 12 where I ran straight to it. There was a lot more rock and rocky areas on the way to 13, but that ended up being ok. Bit of hesitation coming into 18, should have pushed all the way to the control. Straight through the green to 19 following Cobus (there was actually a nice path through the green). I felt like either the map is wrong or the control was misplaced on 20. Was way too high up the hill. Then just 21 and an easyish run to the finish.
