orienteering 53:40 [4] *** 6.8 km (7:54 / km)
spiked:11/12c shoes: NVii O shoes
Better effort today, except for third control.
I was one of the late starters and by the time I got to the start station they had run out of control descriptions. They cut one from a map for me, but made me take that map, so no backup. Also they were too small. They were definitely not the minimum size, and I struggled to read them.
First 2 were ok, then made a mess of 3, going too far along the clearing before cutting in, so was then too far south. Wasted 6 minutes.
After that got it back together and no more mistakes. Was really starting to feel the heat after 6, and stopped at all the drinks controls. A couple of controls were too obvious and visible from a long way out.
