Orienteering race 44:02 [3] 3.3 km (13:21 / km)
QBIII - Day 3 at South Central
Another technical challenge and great physical workout. Was not my best day today and let myself get distracted by others and did not take time to have a good plan. The first few controls was almost like a mass start as most women over 35 were basically on the same course.
#2 - panicked a bit and started looking for control too early (lost 2 mins)
#4 - no AP - lost another 1:45
#8 - stopped 1 gully too early and started fossicking (lost 3 mins)
#13 - should have gone straight
#15 - bad exit from control - here goes another 1:45
Disappointed with my navigation but was only 4 mins behind Alison Inglis who ran 40:48. However, Liz Abbott raised the bar considerably by racing around the same course in a speedy 33.52. Apparently Liz's tip of the day - use yellow, yellow, yellow as much as you can. Must be true.
