Orienteering race 45:37 [4] *** 5.0 km (9:07 / km) +110m 8:13 / km
15c
Canadian Champs middle. A very poor run, though not quite as bad as it seems being that I started between 1:45 and 2:00 late (due to a confluence of factors involving bear spray, GPS watches, and clock times). Suffice to say I was quite discombobulated and didn't get a chance to think about actual orienteering till I was already 2min in the hole. Not that this is any excuse for sucking, but definitely not an ideal start to a race.
First control actually went okay, though it was relatively simple. Second control was not simple and I bobbled it mightily. Third was a short leg, then I blew up on both 4 and 5, and later on 10. Did have some decent-to-good stretches in between. Tricky, subtle terrain which requires full concentration at all times; I did not have the necessary concentration.
