Running 18:00 [2]
Orienteering 30:40 [3] 2.0 km (15:20 / km)
shoes: Sarvas
Training with Boris in Spain, Day 3
MAP: Las Lagunas
TERRAIN: Steep hills and lots of green slashes. This is the greenest and most unpleasant map I've ever run on. The map was mostly rough open with thorny bushes everywhere. Even the dark yellow areas had some type of spiky weeds.
TRAINING: Since we had to make the four-hour drive to Barbate today, this was designated the easy day when we would do only one training. Las Lagunas was conveniently located on the way south, which is why we chose to train on it. At first I was enthusiastic about running through green and trying to stay on my bearings (which is a skill I definitely need to practice), but the green on this map proved to be a bit too much. Thorns cut into me on every single step and it didn't help that many of those steps seems to be uphill. So I did the first part of the course and then jogged back to the finish on trails.
THINGS DONE WELL: I did not get lost despite having to go off the line several times to avoid the green.
THINGS TO WORK ON: I need to pick better route choices through crappy terrain, both big route choices and micro route choices.
