Orienteering race (SINS Croft Castle) 1:05:14 [3] 8.77 km (7:26 / km) +235m 6:34 / km
slept:5.5 shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Yellow1
7.3km short brown course.
After 1 found veg much worse than expected from map. Backed out of going acros and went by the big thicket so as to hit the path. Then turned off too early and lost 2 mins looking in the wrong place - think the black X on the map was lower down than mapped.
Tired by 3. Didn't spot best routechoice to 5 and lost a lot of time trying to find a way of getting down. Not fun. At least found nice contouring track 5-6 although lost 1 min finding control (warned in start lanes it was dodgy).
No pace up the hill out of 9, 10 ok; alongside Paul had issue with mapping of paths on way to 11 then messed it up. Not convinced by it's location but GPS implies it wasn't wrong in the way I had thought. Kept just above the steep bit to 12 then Mark S overtook as I fought my way over brambles.
Going well across the common to 16 and 17 but had lost the path and thought I'd gone too low so went wrong way for control.
Worked out I'd lost around 10 mins in total. Apart from 4-5 being awful terrain for me, it was quite nice but wouldn't be rushing back here in a hurry.
