Despite what's shown, Judy Burge had achieved 1st place in W55L at the Spanish 5-day but due to a misinterpretation she is pictured in 2nd place on the podium. She later claimed her first prize of a sausage!
Judy also went on to win her class at the French 5-day.

Orienteering is a sport that combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.
You take part individually, and you don’t get to see the map with the course on it until the race starts, so you can’t plan your route or check out where the controls are in advance. The fastest person to visit all the controls in the right order is the winner.
