Orienteering - race 1:28:00 [3] 9.16 mi (9:36 / mi)
JK long (W21e)
JK long was long. Very long (I ran 9.16 miles!). And hot. Very hot. And I got tired, very tired.
Lots of small and or silly mistakes, and one very big very silly mistake.
1 - a bit high, 20 secs. Then nailed 2-6. Went straight from 6 cause the forest was nice. Got a bit offline though and got really confused. Was left of the line when I can’t out of the green and hit the track. The heavily hatched bit was open felled, and it didn’t fit the open areas on the map at all. Jogged East on the track for a bit, saw the property and relocated. D’oh. 1min?
7-8 straight, fine. 8-9 went right which I think was the best route, but made me miss the drinks. I don’t really like that planning, where they say the drinks point will be 1/3 round and 2/3rds, then best route misses one. 9-10 I went straight which I thought was the best route, but dropped time in the circle. 1 min at least.
10-11 getting hot here, walking up the hill. 12 got to the circle well then got slightly offline and ended up punching 13 first. 14 fine and 15. 16 there was an unmapped green blob just before the control which was v confusing. 45 secs?
17 - long leg. Aimed right, but didn’t see the path through the houses and hacked through the wood. Got on the road here. Then came off the road before the oob field near 10, running with Chloe Potter and Sarah Jones here. Sarah took a wrong path heading off east instead of North. Chloe and I took a wrong path, also running off the map, for about 500m. Then I realised something was wrong. Chloe disappeared off. I backtracked to the map, and took the correct path. An extra k was not what I wanted here. Disheartened! Saw no one else the rest of the course, and was tired and not terribly inspired. Not great to 26 and dropped about 90secs at 27 by not thinking and taking the wrong path.
Too tired (from unfitness and the heat) to think properly today. 11+ mins of mistakes today. Not a great run. Chuffed to survive. I need to do more long training to run well in this sort of stuff. Inspired a bit I think.
P.S. one punch missing today, but I got reinstated cause it was on the back up. And I wouldn’t have been if I was a punter and only had one emitag.
