Orienteering 2:40:05 [3] ****
14c shoes: Icebug Zeal Spikes
COCs Middle - W21E
1-4 went well felt pretty good. 5 is a a fricking nightmare I tried to take it carefully going right along the path and then through the cleaning and up onto the spur etc missed and ended up on the far trail. Okay no big deal that sucks but I'll relocate and go in from the trail... cue doing that several more times... okay finally find 5 after being stung by wasps and navigate distractedly through 6-7-8-9. Now where the heck is 10?!? it's so damn close to where I easily found 4 I could cry. Close to the cut off time and not having any fun I go to bail out.. I then proceed to really fail at bailing out but eventually make it to the trail running northwest and pick up 13-14 on my walk back in to the finish. The arena is all packed up - Blast well these things happen I guess.
At control 4 I was at - 13:32
At control 5 I was at - 1:24:34 ( > < )
At control 9 I was at - 1:55:22
Bailing from 9 to 13 took - 43 minutes (ouch lots of pointless walking and arguably the most genuinely lost I have ever been when orienteering)
