Dreiländerreck Basel City race - DAK class (Women's A short)
Straight off the airplane and to an orienteering race! Similar to visiting Ross + Sam + Boris in Uppsala in March... But anyways, we did have a brief stop off at the hostel to drop stuff off, then away to the race. Cool aspects were 1) you took a boat across the Rhine to the start (current was pretty intense!) and 2) you started in Switzerland, raced through Germany and ended in France - neat!
My race was pretty solid considering the straight-from-plane-ness, except for an extremely frazzled start. I only discovered 20s before starting I didn't have a compass, had a very quick peak at Ian's, which he mentioned might not be correct given our location in a big metal warehouse, and then go. Except I missed the bit about the start flag being 100m ahead, not where we were, which ended up in about 55s wasted to the first control, bah!
After that, pretty smooth sailing. Was trying hard, but there's still one notch up... Made the same wrong route as Sam to 22, it does actually look better to the left (bridges involved, making very finite route choice) and then a bit flumoxed at the GO control, where I read CD as 98, so didn't like that it said 99 on it, so sailed through looking for the other statue right by the finish before re-checking CD. C'mon brain, must read CDs right!!!
