Event: JK 2008
Orienteering race (JK Sprint) 23:49 [4] **** 4.9 km (4:52 / km)
ahr:172 max:183 spiked:15/20c shoes: Saucony Triumphs
What a debacle. What an amazing sprint area.
I spend 3 months getting my fitness back on track, but then forget all about the navigating side of orienteering.
Made 2 massive errors totalling about 5:30. 1st control was in a complex building area at the end of a route choice. Got into the circle OK, spotted a control that wasn't mine (they were everywhere) and then got taotlly confused. Ran out, in again, out, in again, out and finally back in the right way. Real pissed off.
Went OK through the rest of it, the occasional 10-20 sec mistake here and there isn't worth mentioning, then went straight from 15 to 17. Realised half way there, but found it really hard to get into the control, just running round buildings finding dead ends and uncrossable green lines everywhere.
Finished 2nd last, which was a surprise. I expected last. Grumpy afterwards.
Map, course and GPS - gave up trying to get it to match perfectly.
