Orienteering race 1:16:44 [4] *** 5.42 km (14:09 / km) +150m 12:26 / km
spiked:10/13c shoes: Salomon wings black
Badger A-meet Day 2 Cat's agenda (on W side of road) . Far less complex terrain and with a trail network . Preran course
Slowish start to 1, followed by big boom on #2. Looking for knoll got in right area but couldn't find a knoll with the control , checked around several knolls, bailed out to trail, reattacked same result, went to 250m N to get positive fix off marsh, reattacked and then went up large 2 contour hill whose top was mapped as a knoll . 15 mins wasted! Then shoe lace (Salomon quick -lace type) broke and shoe came off . Got shoe back on but was totally loose. Should have brought my ice bugs for the slippery terrain
This distracted my thinking so was a little shaky after that but made steadily better progress after that overshot #9 when didn't see a bike trail .
Disappointed with the day 2 result : m50+ 15th out of 20 (but 6th or higher for 7 out of the 14 of the legs ). Combined on M50+ for the 2 days was 8th out of 20.
