orienteering race 1:27:00 [4] *** 7.3 km (11:55 / km) +210m 10:25 / km
shoes: jalas red ones
Tried to be clever and cut the corner of the path to number 1, bit of a stupid plan got stuck in all this minging stuff. Number 3 I took a silly route cos I was gonna go round the path but then I realised half way up how much extra climb that was so I went through the stripy bit with all the disgustingness and muddiness on the ground, it was ok just quite slow, found the control okayish...a few of my bearings were a bit off like number 8 I went too far up the path and then had to go back down again. After the spectator control I think I was getting tired (this was the longest course iv ever done in my life) and I particularly disliked the really long legs that just seemed to go on and on through this horrible area. The out of bounds tape on number 15 was a bit confusing and I ended up overshooting the control and being too far down. I relocated ok though. The rest was okay, I thought overall I'd done okay as I'd made no major mistakes which was an improvement. I guess I was just really slow or something then, but I didn't feel particularly slow and i was trying so hard the whole way round.
