Orienteering race 50:30 [5]
shoes: Salomon FellCross
O-cup 2 Canterbury Hills.
Knew the Old Man division would be tough when I ended up running with Tarno and Andrei. I ditched them by taking my own route to 3 ie fell behind, almost caught them only to be stuck waiting for car traffic crossing the road, then ended up leapfrogging Andrei once again later in the box as we had the same route planned. I led a few controls on trail, but he's more precise and kept getting ahead of me in the terrain. Also didn't have the speed for a final sprint, so finished just behind him in 8th or so.
Knew it was over when we saw Serghei at 3 leaving the box.
Good course, with several route decisions in the box and out, and a good mix of handicaps at the finish.
