Running warm up/down 50:00 [1]
shoes: Inov 8 oroc (july 10)
Orienteering 35:21 [5] 4.8 km (7:22 / km)
shoes: Inov 8 oroc (july 10)
Knew it was going to be very tricky so decided to take it easy for the first three controls. Glad I did because the first section was the hardest. Made a mistake on 4 where I got dragged over by some elephant track to a parallel hill. At the time I thought it was only a 30s miss but it was more like 1min.
Opened up on the long leg to 5, took a good trail route and got the fastest split. Caught up to Duca at 5, he rushed off to 6, but instead of chasing him blindly I slowed down and made sure to keep control. Lost 20s on the leg though by being really hesitant. Kept it safe from 7 to 12 taking trails whenever possible, had Duca 30s of me on these which helped a bit. Finally passed him at 13, on 15 though I went left to the trail which lost me 30s and he caught back up.
Going through the spectator loop I heard that I had the new lead, I knew I was having a good race and was just worried I was going to blow it like it I did in my relay leg. The last loop went smoothly though and I gave everything I had into the finish.
Thoughts of the gold fluttered through my head once finished, but it wasn't to be. Very nervous waiting for Mike to come in, never really had such an experience before. Still, exceeded my expectations, a great race.
First Canadian champs elite medal!!!
Sooo close to winning (5s)...
