Orienteering 35:37 [4] 4.9 km (7:16 / km)
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 b
H3 at Jumbuck Hill.
Got there late after Amy's tennis tournament and I didn't think my heel would cope well with a long course in this terrain so just did the H3.
Started poorly, planned to contour left from the start but I felt I was having to go further left than I expected to get around the big boulder and dithered a bit thinking of going right on the track for a bit instead. Ended up sticking with the original plan but was never really sure where I was until I hit the cliffs just before and above the control so was a bit hesitant. 2, 3, 4 were good. 5 was slow at the end as I couldn't make sense of the rocks S of the control and thought I might be there when I still had a bit to go. Old map on TBT actually seems to match better what I was seeing here. Rest of the course was pretty good. I was very cautious early on 7 and then saw it from a distance so could have been more aggressive. Might have been faster heading N out of 7 and running more on the tracks but that would have been boring. Thought I could have done better getting out of the green leaving 8 but the splits suggest I did better than anyone else. Heel seemed to cope reasonably well, a bit sore at times but never bad.
