Orienteering can be unforgiving

Friday, 20 July 2007

I've not had a good run the past few days.  In an orienteering sense.  Stupid mistakes. 

In the middle distance WRE I was doing ok, a few too many errors, but everyone was having problems.  But then I skipped #5.  Doh!  Our course is below.

Today I was quite determined to ride smoothly and not make mistakes.  Which I pretty well did.  Except I got to the end of the race in a little over 60 minutes.  That was a bit short for a long distance race.  So after checking I found I'd taken the women's course.  At least I got all the check points.  Tomorrow I'll try and do that, make no mistakes and take the right map!  The course I should have done is below.
