Orienteering race 1:16:04 [4] *** 11.6 km (6:33 / km) +480m 5:26 / km
spiked:20/25c
Interland match in Belgium. Did exactly what I told myself not to do and went off far too fast. Overshot the first control, and banana-ed badly to the second. I then got my head sorted and ran the rest of the course cleanly, apart from one bad route choice. When I was running cleanly, my splits weren't too bad compared to Fabian and Duncan.
Disappointed with how I started the race, but pleased with how I got my head back together and raced the rest. It was still really good experience for me and will hopefully help the rest of my season.
Three weeks until JK to sharpen up my running and my navigation.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: O shoes
Run to start and back from finish. Conditions were awful, wet and windy. Got cold very quickly when I finished so ran hard back to the bus to get changed and have a shower (which was cold).
