orienteering at meadowridge

A score event today, where we had to find as many controls as we could within an hour. When I got my map I noticed the long leg from no 2 to no 8, and decided that I'd try and avoid that, which meant if I wanted to get all controls, I'd have to start with one of those two points, so it was off to no 8. My route is below on the map.

I overlooked no 15, I think because off the way my map was folded, and then a blunder going from no 3 to no 1, the veld is closed, even though the map indicates differently, so I had to run all the way around. I left the controls close to the finish for last, in case I ran out of time, which I did, so I couldn't get no 9 and 12.

Overall a nice run, my legs just aren't fast enough to manage more than 10km in a hour, and it was extremely hot, so I had a huge headache in the evening.
