Orienteering 13:38 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (July 11)
Tried to sleep as much as possible but woke up with a sore throat. Moped around the rest of the day trying to do as little as possible. Started warming up for the race around 1.5hr before my start but I don't think that was sufficient. Felt quite dopey on the start line.
Tried to keep control to #1 aiming straight for the re-entrant, but it was really hard to see. Hit the trail and spent 10s trying to figure things out before spotting the control. Lost another 10s at least to 2 going into the control, wasn't in control technically at all. Picked things up after that and got some confidence. The rest of the race was fine.
Obviously really wanted to reclaim the gold, but ok with second place.
