Orienteering race (5.94km 7.2 min/km) 42:44 [4] 5.3 km (8:04 / km) +113m 7:17 / km
Middle distance at Deer Creek Hills, same venue as yesterday and same beatiful rolling hills. Fairly sunny today, no rain. Fun course, 20 controls over 5.3km, not very difficult navigationally owing to the very open terrain. More like a sprint race. In red I competed against the entire junior national team, plus a number of fast M45s. Results were accordingly, my running speed is at least 20% less than the fastest M45s.
No mistakes until #6, came too far right and lost about 10s.
#11 misread the spur for a reentrant, saw the nice big reentrant just north of the spur, got confused and started going up the next spur before I turned around, realized what had happened and saw the control. Helps to read control descriptions! 1 minute.
#13 many people went straight over the hill but I wanted to save 10m climb and went around somewhat, but ended 50m too far south. 20-30s.
#16 had seen it on my way to 13, but didn't help, I was tired and came too far S, then saw a control which turned out to be the root stock at the intersection, turned around and saw my control. 30s.
About 2 minutes lost in all. Fun race, thank you BAOC!
