Level B - Blackheath & Farley Heath Orienteering event, Black course
First time I ever ran Black, so only wanted to see how I am handling physically. Technically, I have made about 3:10 worth of errors throughout which is not that bad, but this was really a runners course. (Note after reviewing splits: clearly there were more errors in there than I have initially estimated. Probably some of them was route choice where I would have been faster running around on paths - even with adjusting for speed difference, the time loss due to errors could have been above 5 min) About half of that error was near the end (so obviously fatigue caused me to make some errors). I felt like I was OK from a stamina perspective, but clearly not fast enough. Probably could have pushed and gained another 5 minutes or so, but still about 24 minutes behind Nick B. who won (black course and all) so it would not have made a huge difference. Looking at age class results probably should aim to complete a course like this in about 70 minutes realistically, and it feels like doing proper training can get me there. I suspect a lot of the time was lost not on roads but just learning how to run fast over rough terrain (no news there).
Not a hugely challenging area navigationally, although there were a few interesting bits at the edges, and the area allowed for selecting different techniques on different legs, which I think means good planning.
Got myself a VJ iRock in the end so run with that as well, no problems like I have with the 212 or the Falcon, so looks like a keeper.
Garmin told me after the finish that it detected a new Lactate Threshold and adjusted my speed to 4:29 with 166BPM, which is funny because clearly the speed was much lower here on terrain - so real LTHR is clearly a much faster pace and it could have adjusted in the opposite direction.
