Event: Sarum Saunter
Orienteering race (Sarum Saunter) 59:36 [4] 8.38 km (7:07 / km) +190m 6:23 / km
shoes: inov8 Roclite295 (1)
Sarum Saunter at Hamptworth. 7.1km Short Brown course.
Made a mess of 1 as didn't find the right gully - turns out the one with the control in it wasn't much of a gully at all. Went around the rhodedendrons 3-4 and this was much quicker than Alan, who went straight through. Roughly straight line route for the rest of the course.
Took the route around the back into 12. Had no idea where I was or where I was going 13-14 but got the control bang on so very pleased. Could see controls 15/16/17/18 from some distance so not too hard.
Unimpressed with the run in to the finish, with a pond clearly marked on the map between them. Would surely have made sense for them end the course 100 yards earlier rather than make everybody run through a bog to the finish?
Fairly good run, apart from the 90s or so loss on 1. Felt a bit frustrated that I wasn't able to run any faster.

Note
1117 ranking points! That almost makes me look like a good orienteer...
