DVOA Batona 500. Day 1 Red. Some trouble on 2,10,12, and 13. Biggest mistake was 13, knew I was over 1 spur but then was to low when I went to the correct one so did not see it and thought I was misplaced. Ran with PlutePro and Bernie for much of the middle of the course but faded leaving 12 and was dropped. Still a good run for me, considering how little I have trained. In 4th on M45 with a small chance to catch 3rd one minute ahead and good chance to lose places to the mob just behind me. 1st and 2nd were out of reach with Mikell Platt leading 18 minutes ahead of me.
Splts and eventually comments are posted.

Sprint A at Batona. I had signed up in advance but did not feel up to sprinting so walked the course with Bev. This was her first time orienteering and the course seemed easy enough that she would not be scared away from ever showing up again. Her normal comment about orienteering when hearing about races is And you do this for fun?.
