9 AM
Orienteering 54:30 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (Aug 10)
Really fun race, nice to go head to head against such a good bunch of runners.
Pretty tired from the days before so wanted to just stay in a pack and see how I felt. Well, somehow off the start I ended up in front after Patrick, who was leading, went down a wrong trail. Didn't know which route to take to 2, and when everyone behind me suddenly disappeared I panicked a little. Ended up floundering around on the trail/ravine for a bit before finding it, but luckily others made mistakes as well and I was with or just behind the leaders.
Most of the race is a blur, running with others the whole time. At the end of the first loop I was 50m behind Patrick and with Magnus and Nick. Then midway through the second loop Patrick and Nick made mistakes and Jon and Mark appeared from another gaffel. At the start of the third loop it was Jon, Magnus and I. Jon led most of the way, and midway through the long leg to the last control he attacked at the top of the ravine and got away. Had nothing left in me to try and catch him, legs were super heavy, although now looking back I wish I would have tried harder. :P
Thanks to GHO for a great event! The maps and organization was amazing.
