Urban Orienteering race 48:15 [5] 7.1 mi (6:48 / mi) +240m 6:09 / mi
Halifax Urban - 1st
All going well, though running round the centre in the mid part, thought I should be running faster...luckily glanced over at the north part of the map and saw the mountainous end section and kept the pace the same.
Silly route to #7 back past #3 which involved some zig zagging
Wobble to #14 as thought I was one street north of where I actually was
Was no good from #20 onwards
Should have approached #20 from west
#21 - somehow missed route across grass, only saw steps which I decided to avoid following main road round
#22 - went down ramp to E of #24, not sure if this was better than reversing at #21, think it was?
#24 - back past #21, think this was better than climbing ramp
#25 - totally missed route through mills, lost lots of time
#29 - though steps would run east west rather than north south so ended up at bottom
Lots of poor grippling and slow boxes meant lost lots of time to anyone with a SIAC.
Good, if cruel, planning in the final 10 controls.
Nice to have water at the end.
