Orienteering race 2:06:04 [5] *** 12.67 km (9:57 / km) +265m 9:00 / km
spiked:17/20c slept:9.0 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talons 212
Oringen Day 2 - chasing starts, Langkloof 1:15'000.
So I was set off 21 sec after Jess. She pulled away to #3 and I didn't try stick with her. Not the most attacking strategy but at that stage I was more concerned about pacing myself well so I didn't blow later on. Once again concentration and map contact were poor in the first half of the race. No big mistakes but scrappy in the circles and there was a fair bit of hesitation. Flow improved a bit in the 2nd half. Happy with my route choices for the long legs and really enjoyed the challenge of a 3km+ leg.
Finished 4mins behind Jess.

Belfast Oringen - Middeldam.
No major mistakes but lots of small misses. Map contact and concentration weren't great. Had to force myself to think about things that should be coming naturally. Guess I shouldn't be surprised - last CC I did was in October! Managed to keep a decent pace going although I was on the limit on the last loop - not a lot of processing power left.
Finished 21 seconds behind Jess L. Happy to be about 6mins behind the main pack of guys. Mike destroyed in 37mins.
