Good to get a hit out orienteering - been missing it. Nice little area too, pleasntly suprised.
Had a bit of a mare really got the first 2 then just started dropping large amounts of time all over the show. Small mistake on 3, and then rough as hell. Couldn't follow the tracks! although the map wass slightly off this still shouldn't have caused as much problems as it did. Big time loss on 4, 7, 8. Mistakes on 10,11, 12 (although that wasn't my fault as control in wrong place). Then had compass problems for 14, 16, 17. And 17 felt all wrong.
I still had a nice day (not only due to John waxing lyrical about his scrambliing adventures). Looking at splits my base speed was actually suprisingly good. Considering a didn't feel that strong at all. So over the past couple of months i must now be moving quite a lot faster than I was. Got a couple of splits on ones i didn't stuff up . And the finish split but i think this must be some kindof SI error cause i was going quite slow to the finish.
