Middle earth sprint. Was ok and started well and did the beach bit well. Lost time on 11 with my route choice.

Warm up

Sprint - Course 4 - Splits

I looked at the map before hand and thought it would be easy running. This was not the case. It was tricky and very easy to over shoot the control.
I made over shooting mistakes at 1,2,12,13,23 and I made entering the control from the wrong side error at 6, 17, 21.

I swam on the way to 18 and I almost yelled in shock at 14 when I ran into gandalf.
This course had a bit of everything really and while very sloppy I did have fun. The trees were fantastic and I felt super fast on the tracks.

Middle/Long - Course 3 - Splits

Not how I wanted this race to go at all. It was hard and I am not sure how to confidently run in mud.
I am very annoyed that I ran 5-9 thinking it was 6. Hmmm
I am very disappointed but at least after making my mistakes I didn't give up and kept going.

Warm up

I'm getting very nitty picky with my orienteering lately and my performance running wise today was not my best. I was tired from the get go and had no aggression which is a problem for a relay. Little slips here and there and poor route choice to 5. Happy our team was consistent and all had alright runs. 3rd place but would have liked to have gotten 2nd

Warm up

Hmmm was pretty sloppy at the start and made silly mistakes because I wasn't reading attack points well with all the grass.
Even after all my mistakes I didn't give up and kept going and managed to have an ok run in the end. I am able to push a bit more on longs so I had energy to keep going.

Long - Course Course 3 - Splits

Event: Oceania Championships 2017
 

Warm up and down

Oceania sprint

My legs felt really achey today and sore. I'm not sure why and it made running difficult.
Over complicated things in places where I exited the control with out looking up and taking in my surroundings.
