Orienteering race (australian relays) 1:17:01 [3] 7.7 km (10:00 / km)
Bit dissappointed.
Definately a runners course that I would have loved if I was fitter- not that I felt unfit- I was just 2min/pkm slower than Max.
Made about 5/6min of mistake on the first two; which I took easy trying to avoid the classic relay first control mistake; but my lack of confidence led me too run straight past it ala Sunday. Control 2 not much better but this time being overconfident.
Few small circle errors throughout, One poor route choice (which wouldn't have cost much time).
Then ran through the spectator control only to be baffled by the mapping in the farming paddock (perhaps no fieldwork?).
One of the controls was about 4 contours too low on the hillside and a number of large cliffs (in the middle of a paddock) weren't mapped. Also missing was the major farm track heading straight up the hill, Didn't find the powerline running across said paddock.
hmm
Otherwise felt good and was a bit upset to still be able to sprint the last two controls and not feel stuffed at the end (obviously didn't try hard enough).
