Orienteering race 2:00:24 [3] 11.0 mi (10:57 / mi) +500m 9:35 / mi
Dales weekend, Day 2, Black, 6th/12
Did some proper orienteering for the first time since S6D Day 5 2015.
Mainly because the weather was OK and I didn't fancy a solo long run from home.
But, lo and behold, it wasn't too bad.
Certainly couldn't do it every month, mind. Need to be fresh mentally and not dreading it.
Navigation took my time and was never far off, although probably not that difficult a course? - mainly in the circle, at #5 and #13, went to #7 before #6 and stopped too soon for #2 and #17.
Never really considered the northern route #4-#5 which looks a lot flatter. Might have been a good option.
Water would have been nice as I passed back through the start, I know it's my own club and I know what effort goes in, but when a whistle is complusory, and people are out for over 90 mins, water is important too.
