Orienteering race (World Cup) 48:04 [4] 5.9 km (8:09 / km) +220m 6:52 / km
shoes: New silver o shoes
First international race, first race in Norway and I got the honour (!) of first start. After struggling a bit at the model event, and coupled with first start, I decided that I was going to be extra cautious. Went off steady and hit the first 5 controls well, including the tough long leg, but was being very careful. Missed 6 and then 10, and got caught by my 2 minute man. I led through the rest of the controls with a couple of little wobbles.
It was an OK run, but perhaps I was too cautious. I still really enjoyed it, the experience, the atmosphere, not seeing the finish before the race, the pre-start, everything. It's a BIG step up doing this kind of race, and you realise how good the top guys really are.
