Orienteering 1:03:00 [4]
UKEOL Cartmel Clash - Chasing Start
Another really well-planned competition and a great area to go with it. 3 loops to begin with, A/B/C done in a different order with and then one common longer loop at the end. Started close to Spongey and Olly W at the beginning but we all had different loops so didn't see either of them apart from Spongey to the very end. Bit of a wobble to 1 when distracted by another control but got going well again and was orienteering SUPER GOOD.
Dunc B and Willy G were tracking me down in a train on their second loop here and caught me at 4 but I took a diff route choice on five and lost out about ten seconds from being a hard bastard and going straight but maybe that's because they were shifting a bit better (just fitter than me)... Strong through loop B and C on my own again and then navving really well on the last long loop as well. Went past James A at the third who was my two min man but no min train as he was going walkabout. Got stuck in the green a bit on 5 and poss took a slightly slower route choice on the long leg to 9, went past Spongey here who'd unfortunately gone over on his ankle, and then grind back through the skoggy marshes to the finish.
Nice race and a good blast, could have done with a few more peeps to push me on but happy with the race and had a lot of fun out there.
Probably last o races for while as couldn't secure a late entry to British Middles which is sad.
