Hungarian Long Distance Orienteering Championships, M40

Very interesting analysis. Not a very good result - 14th of 24 with a run that really only had 2 (stupid) larger mistakes.
8th - 2:30 lost by going too high up and confused for a while.
10th - also about 2:30 lost by not counting the gullies and so running too early to try and find the control by following contours (that weren't there).

However there were a few other smaller mistakes and quite likely route choice issues, especially on the long leg to No.2.

All that said, I lost considerable times on legs where I was spot on - so clearly running speed was the issue. Looking at the track it isn't the top speed that was causing time loss, I think this has to do with me being able to push myself when running alone. One I was with someone I had no problems running with them and felt that I was faster, but somehow running the hills, climbing the steep hillsides, navigating rock fields and fighting through vegetation alone is just not something I was pushing myself. Looking at the HR track it is clear that I had the physical capacity so this is a mental approach thing that I would need to look into once the marathon is behind me.

Quite disappointed then with the result, even though it wasn't a disastrous run in itself.
