Orienteering race (Easter Day 3) 45:13 [5] 8.0 km (5:39 / km)
At Foxlow Flats, came 4th, 1:54 behind Simon. 2nd overall 1:25 behind Simon. Well an exciting end to the weekend and hard not to feel a pang of disappointment. But I felt really drained this morning for various reasons (cough starting to break through my defences) and am actually pretty happy to still get a 4th place in a NOL. Defending 29secs against Simon was always going to be taxing.
A bit low on #1, which was demoralising. Picked the agressive route (straight) on #2 - worked well yesterday, but maybe I should've been more defensive today? 30 secs back after this leg, although I was indecisive in the circle so the choice probably wasn't critical. Kept on going well to #5 but could feel I was losing aggression in my running style. Caught out on #6 where only 2 of 3 erosion gullies were mapped with watercourses in, so I didn't make out the other one on the map. 40secs lost there, so now 1:10mins back on Simon. Got through to #13 ok before a final long leg back to the arena where I decided to stick to the path and go through the start. Possibly cost another 30secs, although I was tiring significantly so maybe was just me - brought the deficit up to nearly 2mins.
Successful weekend all told and nice to still be clinging on to the top end of the leader board for now. And very glad to not be at the JK.
