Orienteering race (Gt Walstead and Henfield ) 43:17 [4] *** 5.7 km (7:36 / km) +110m 6:56 / km
spiked:15/19c
Light rain and heavy mud. Started a bit earlier than usual and was overtaking all the way round. Two small mistakes caused by trying to run away from people without checking map/bearing. There were a few unmapped major new paths which confused me as well. One en route to 9 made me lose confidence in my whereabouts and I used a clunky attack point to make sure I got it. Then I left 13 really badly and when I ran into the white the contours looked all wrong. I was a bit left and wasted another minute trying to relocate. Didn't spot the best ride route to 17 till after turning the wrong way and should maybe have carried on going the way I was. No results yet but reasonably pleased with that.
