Long - Red Y (WRE) - Splits

Event: North American Orienteering Championships 2016
 

Spent longer then I intended running around the bottom practice map.

Did some stretches near the parking lot, then realized I started in 6 minutes so I had to run hard up the hill to the start.

I was feeling really confident and reading the map well through doing the practice map but it quickly left me by the time I started ...five minutes after my scheduled start. I had a few good controls early on but I was generally sloppy. I also lacked intensity as I ran due to the mind set I was already five minutes behind everyone ...of course until Michael started to catch me and that is when I picked up the pace and the stupid mistakes began.

C • Nice running, my friend. Ha... 1

Middle - Red Y - Splits

Decided to go to cross country practice today. Was 4 mins at race pace then 1 minute easy four times. We were running as group though so ended up being an easy pace.

Didnt go particular well, meant to focus on planning a leg fully and visualizing before leaving control. Spent a whole bunch of time on a pretty unacurate area with a few houses (probably since no one was expected or ever intended to run through the area)
