H3 at Yetar Spring. No warm up and rushed through the start jumping the queue because I wanted to get back in time for Rachel to do a longer warm up. Didn't start the gps until half way to number 1. Feeling rushed and an uphill start made the heart twitchy and it started spiking on the way to 2 hitting 201 at one point. Rate dropped down again and stayed reasonable for the rest of the course but I still felt a bit unwell all the way and it was back up over 180 again fairly soon after I finished. Ran straight past 3 thinking about my rudeness at the start instead of where I was on the track losing maybe 45 seconds. Rest of the course was pretty clean apart from being very hesitant going into the last.
Felt very slow and spent much of the course thinking I should give up orienteering completely as I don't think it is very good for my health at the moment. Disappointed with the time at the finish as I thought it should have been a sub 35 minute course. My mind clearly hasn't adjusted to what my body is capable of at the moment.

E course with Liam and Amy. Only logged to get a record of what my heart was doing. Not happy up the first hill, settled down through the middle of the course then protested again when I carried Amy up the last hill.
