Was confident that I would feel better today, and I woke up feeling good with a positive feeling about the race today.
Happy with the race. Had a good technical race with only a few small mistakes. Not so sure about my routes, especially in the first part of the race where I was going way around on trails when it turned out that the woods were actually really nice. Quite a few hesitations, especially in the end when I didn't want to blow a good race.
It was purely physical again today with the easy map/terrain. Although I felt much better than yesterday, it still felt like I lacked the top end.
Was almost 6min back of Kryburz after the first radio (~1/3 through), but then 10min back at the finish. Will have to analyze how I lost so much time in the beginning.
So, lots to improve on, but pleased with the strong race. Nice to have finally had a good one after a bad WUOC week and sprint yesterday. Probably my best qualification race to date. :)
Edit: Looks like some of the top runners went fairly straight to everything. Interesting...

Orienteering 15:37 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (June 12)
Felt ok warming up, but after the first few controls I knew it was going to be a tough race. Was already tired by the second control. Was hoping for a tricky technical course on the cool map, but it was insanely easy. The last half of the course was all long running legs, where I was absolutely exhausted. I'm not so surprised by how poorly I felt since I've been battling a swollen throat the past few days. It's too bad the race wasn't two days earlier when I'd felt good.
Annoying to think about a race all year only to have your body disappoint you on the day.

Was doing ok up to 5, but then lost 2min to 6 trying to sidehill across, which was quite sketchy, and then bobbling the control. Lost a minute on number 14 as well in my second butterfly. I'm ok with my race up until the end of the butterfly, but then things fell apart.
Lost some time on 17 and then got caught in some green trying to find the crossing point. Picked the long road route to 18, but as I got onto the first trail I felt a thorn on my big toe. Still ran pretty strong up the road, but I couldn't really push off properly and was trying to run on the side of my foot to avoid the thorn. Contemplated stopping to take my shoe and sock off but felt like I was too close to the end. Ended up losing a minute heading into 18 as well.
On the way to 20 I took the route to the right by some houses. As I ran by one of the fences, there was a boy on the other side of the fence telling me that I was entering private property. Got all flustered and stopped to see what was going on. Saw that I was ok by the map and tried to tell him "Yo bueno" or something (really wish I could remember my high school Spanish). Between being distracted by the toe and the boy I lost even more time going into the control (nearly 5min in total).
Then to finish things off I ran through a sketchy gas station right off the highway on the way to 21. Weird...

Had fun getting into the map. Nice to cool off at the beach afterwards.
