Orienteering race (Hankley Common blodslitet) 1:29:29 [5] *** 11.4 km (7:51 / km) +365m 6:46 / km
spiked:29/32c
Couldn't find the start on the map and lost about 30 secs on 1 which was enough time to be dropped by the leaders. Didn't visualise the first leg properly and made a proper hash of race plan. Had no company after 7 and and just did usual steady thing, but overshot 13 and then lacked confidence to go back and look in trees and bracken. Completed first lap in 42 and raced someone through 16 to 20 and got away. Couldn't visualise terrain around 26 at all and lost a minute. Slowed by heather over last five and was a bit down the results, but really enjoyed one of my favourite areas on a lovely sunny day.
