Orienteering race 1:40:06 [5] **** 14.84 km (6:45 / km) +299m 6:08 / km
ahr:168 max:190 shoes: Inov8 X talon 212
JK Long - Cold Ash
M18E - 17th (+28:15)
(15th overall)
Arrived late so no time for a WU. Set off slow just aiming to nail the first few. Saw John coming out of #6 so knew I had caught 1.5mins on him. Good to #8 then having to stop for a minute to get my shoe off to take a thorn out. Harry M caught me at #10 so was with him until #15. Pathed left all the way to #16 and halfway got hit by the bonk. Could barely run from here meaning Dan caught me. From there it was a slog to the finish picking up the final bit of pace when Louis caught me.
Overall better than I expected to do. Some good nav done but the rest is fitness. Need to be more confident in the control circle as I'm too hesitant. Probably the best JK since 2016 so that's a plus. Easy 3.5km relay tomorrow so legs should cope fine.
Organisers are dumb. How fucking hard is it to have more than one water point.
