Orienteering race 43:00 [5] 4.7 km (9:09 / km) +134m 8:00 / km
Middle Distance Champs.
Tried to run hard up the hill and across to the far side and managed to stay close the the W21E until the last bit, down onto the control was fine and saw the big rock before the control. #2 was hard to get through the sticks but managed to keep the line and came off the rock surfs below the control
#3 was up hill and tried too hard and got off line and overshot to the rock surfaces behind and had to find the control back down, lost a minute or so here and never saw Nigel who I think got through at this point.
#4 got into the rock below and had to come back up
5, 6 & 7 were fine
Out of 7 I thought I was running up the broad gully but was north of the line and was confused and could not fit the map, found a control on a rock surface and worked out where I was and then got back on track but lost 2-3 minutes
finished quite strongly
Ended up about 6th or 7th and not too far off the pace
