Orienteering race (Lipica Open Day 2) 37:49 [5] **** 3.8 km (9:57 / km)
spiked:11/13c
Lipica Open Day 2. Won H50 and won 2 days overall. Another good race in fantastic terrain. Shame it wasn't longer as it was fantastic to run through such complex and beautiful country. Intense orienteering - very demanding and physical. Did well except for a big miss on control 9 which cost me 3 mins. The problem was running too hard with only a vague idea of where I was, letting the terrain push me off line. Then got to a major track where I couldn't re-locate quickly and then spent a bit of time going up the wrong spur after mis-identifying a depression. Was going really well up to that point and then lost focus. Re-grouped well though and finished strongly, with only a minor wobble on control 11 (20-30 secs). Picked off 5 ticks afterwards.
