Urban Orienteering race 1:12:55 [3] 8.7 mi (8:23 / mi) +270m 7:39 / mi
MDOC Disley Street League, 4th
Held back with the weekend in mind, settled into a comfortable pace despite lack of flat running (!)
Was quite shoddy at start, and struggled with the Psalm control.
After that got to grips with things, decided not to do out and back on A6 (or unlit steep path) but soon decided to clear all of this map (esp as not running hard) and then see what the 2nd map had in store.
Missed footpath across field thanks to lack of signage and tarmaced drive going a lot further than advertised, but wasn't the only one.
Got very icy high up on the south side, couple of near falls.
Picked up second map having cleared all but one, and slightly increased pace to pick up a few more, but didn't leave any tempters, esp. with the time penalties!
Prefer the multi-point format in general, but this made a nice change, and probably would have suited the runners more.
