shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
Green Course at Warwick - beautiful day
A fairly poor performance, but I'm not going to beat myself up too much as it was a tough week at work and on the home front, too. I was a bit distracted today and made some silly mistakes, but tried my best and had some nice interaction with DVOA peeps as usual. It was a nice turnout despite a lot of people being at the Flying Pig or working or doing other things. I saw a lot of people I didn't know.
Start - no clue sheets, so I tore it off the map - happy with my first control.
#2 - hello, brain, wakeup. too far north, wrong tree.
#3 - hesitation about route choice, some whinging about getting through the green crap. tom o flew by me here. i thought, if i could just keep up with him...
#6 - too far south, had to scramble around a bit
#8 - went too far north and had to go back down the hill and then back up it again. this is where svetlana and i were really close together for a while, i think she probably ended up beating me by being a better orienteer
#11 - dumb route choice, down to trail and then back up the hill
#15 - oops. wrong charcoal terrace.
Apparently just as Vadim left, the epunch stopped working. Some results will have to be entered by hand, I feel bad for whoever has to do this...
