Orienteering race 2:07:35 [4] ***** 8.2 mi (15:34 / mi) +623m 12:35 / mi
17c shoes: Salomon Speed Cross 3 Black
I got the early start today.
Started off much better to 1. Hit 2 a little high and took a few minutes to realize. 3 was good, then 4 I stumbled finding the wrong boulder pile and being convinced it was right for too long before correcting. 5 I spent too long looking for an apparently nonexistent trail before giving up and just taking the long side hill, and then slowing one reeentrant too early.
Took the long way around to 6 but mostly trails and road so I was moving good. Then missed the pit at 7 and had to go searching. 8 I tried to take the long way around again, but the trail was nonexistent and the fence was too high to get over it to the road, so that ended up being a really bad slow choice.
Things improved on the back half, executing the long leg 9-10 really well and then the rest were pretty short legs that I was able to run most of.
Lots of smaller mistakes and bad route choice that stacked up in the end. 15/20 finishers with 5 dnfs. Mostly happy with my showing, but definitely need to get used to 2 hours in the woods.
Gu really helped perk me up both days, wondering if I should take one just before also.
