Orienteering race (Highland 2015) 2:50:54 [4] ***** 11.6 km (14:44 / km) +310m 13:00 / km
spiked:19/21c shoes: Moremile Cheviots
Day 5 - Glen Affric South - Course 39
Easily my least favourite terrain I've ever run (!) in, making Ashclyst forest seem quite nice in comparison. It became apparent on the way to #1 that this was going to be a very physical course(not the best thing with a dodgy ankle!), with quite a few rather unsafe looking ravine crossings. The nav side was actually ok, until #4 where I got lost in the stuff up the hill with about 10 others, and was convinced that there was a reentrant that didn't appear on the map. Eventually managed to bail out to the path and work my way in from there, to mess up #6 by being way too far up the hill. Probably should have taken a faster route choice along the path to #9, rather than straightlining it, but bumped into it regardless. Things got slightly quicker going towards the end, as did the nav, but by then I'd been out for ages anyway so it made no difference. Didn't help that I landed awkwardly on my other ankle coming in to the final control either.
