Orienteering 35:30 [5]
http://obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/en/d...
Another miss at NZ middle champs. Got the wrong gully at #1 and lost a minute bashing through lupin to the control. Got the wrong spur at #2 losing another 30-40s. And that was enough for the race.
Rest was slow and scrappy.
Then, debacle on the last loop. I read the compulsary route from the spectator control on my descriptions and map. Punched, set off after all the footprints. Then realised they weren't on the compulsary route! So came back and followed the tapes.
COmpleted the loop. Punched the last control...followed the tapes towards the finish...and got yelled at that I had to follow the compulsary route!
Assuming they meant the one from the spectator, which I'd retracked to follow, but not from the very beginning of, I headed off in that direction in order to do the whole loop again.
But got screamed at again to follow the tapes!! So I said that was what I was off to do! And got shouted at to just punch the finish already. So I said I wouldn't do that if I was going to get dsqd...
eventually i just punched the finish. Turned out that I'd missed the finish chute which is what they were shouting at me for. I'd instead followed the OOB tape that was keeping spectators back. Badly marked from the last control, I wasn't the only one to do it.
And turns out more than half the field didn't follow the compulsary route from the spectator.
So my conscientious brain combined with oxygen debt to screw me over. Didn't cost me any places, but put me in a boo post-race. (doubly awkward when your parents are setter and controller...)

Orienteering 25:00 [2]
went to collect controls. But we were too slow, so just went for a jog around the mens first block of controls with Jamie and Penny.
Found the forest isn't at all as it is mapped at #1 which explains my 1min mistake...

Scored my first league goal in about 18months today. Free kick into the top left hand corner. Was very proud. Bit futile though, I won't mention the total score...
