Trail Running (Nelspruit) 27:00 4.96 km (5:26 / km) +137m 4:47 / km
ahr:156 max:171 shoes: Salomon Sense Ride4 #2 Baby Bl
Down on the Mpumalanga escarpment for the Sabie O-ringen, so drove through to Nelspruit for the Klipspringer Lodge Parkrun.
Small turnout of only 21 people or so on a lovely small game farm in the hills SW of town. They tried to keep it flat as possible, but still hilly with a tough uphill in the last km. Really enjoyed this one and wouldn't mind coming back some time and putting in a bit more effort on the time.

Orienteering race (Sabie) 1:02:38 8.65 km (7:14 / km) +200m 6:29 / km
ahr:159 max:173 shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #4 (ZA)
Sabie Klipkraal NE
2-day O-ringen
Brown, 7.3km, 215m
First starter on the course. Good into #1, but the intense map reading meant I was unprepared for long leg to #2. Quick decision was made to go left so that I didn't need to climb up through the undergrowth to get onto the right route choice. The climb on the left came all at once and was short and not too bad, so it may have been a few seconds quicker or maybe the same. At #3, I left the path too late and had to circle back (20s).
Leg 5-6 I made a bad route choice and ended up on the rocky hill ridge the whole way. Either left of right would have been much faster. I also ended up 30m too far to the right when attacking #6 (60s). Hesitated going into #8 as I'd misread the description and though I was going for the cliff instead of the boulder (10s). I then had a good run to #9 and got through the undergrowth perfect, but then circled around the edge instead of cutting straight line to the control (30s).
Into #11 I was right on the perfect line, but then got confused on the detail inside the circle and changed route to come in on the NE side instead of the NW which was much more accessible (20s). Thereafter a good run of controls spot-on, getting slightly lucky with #16. At #17 I was about 40m too far east (20s) and then I messed around exiting to #18 instead of staying in the white forest to get onto the road. No other problems after that.
So overall quite scrappy and quite a few time losses (7 mins down on superman time). Would have preferred to be at least 3 mins faster but still 3 mins clear of Nico in 2nd place.
Accidentally pressed my start / stop button on the watch, so a bit of course is missing.
