Event: Foot Fetish Sprints
orienteer race 37:17 [3] *** 2.72 km (13:42 / km)
ahr:155 11c
Sprint #1
My goal was to concentrate on this as orienteering practice, and not as a race. I succeeded there; I never looked at my watch once.
It was good training. I'm definitely rusty, especially on reading ahead, but I did a better job of relocating (than I have done in the past). I actually had a fairly clean run; my only bobbles were due to stopping too soon on the longer legs.

orienteer race 39:43 [3] *** 3.1 km (12:49 / km)
ahr:156 8c
Sprint #2
I was tired, and therefore made some sloppy mistakes. Twice I went down parallel reentrants; once I was saved by seeing other runners; once I had to relocate on my own.
Looked at my HR once or twice, to make sure I was moving as fast as I should be (although I was deliberately walking these courses; altitude!)
Lots of fun, and excellent training.
walk 50:00 [3]
Map hikes as I picked up markers from my course and Sprint #1. I took my time looking at the rock features in the terrain vs. map. I also practiced looking ahead.
Good map reading practice, especially since I was tired from the morning races and found it hard to concentrate at times.
