Mountain Bike Orienteering

I have to admit to being rather nervous about competing today. My last event was in October and having suffered a number of injuries wasn't sure of my fitness.

At the start we had the first glimpse of the course and I opted for the tough climb through control 50 to 56 then onto 55 before returning to 39 and 52 before a sharp descent to 49. It was then on the road to 32 and the controls to the north. Enjoyed the descent but had a tough climb back to 58!

Pleased with a total of 324 points out of 525 (losing one point for being a few seconds over time). 37.6km, 776m of climb 772m of descent. No wonder I feel rather tired!

Thank you for your responses to yesterday's photo.
