Orienteering race 38:55 [5] *** 5.4 km (7:12 / km) +275m 5:45 / km
23c shoes: O shoes
POM Day 1. Ran well to get tenth place and beat some good foreign athletes. One 45 sec mistake where I drifted off my compass, and a couple of little hesitations but overall clean and very pleasing. Possibly for the first time, I felt like I was able to push myself on the running as hard as I would in a cross country race but still be in control of the navigation. A good start to the week!
Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: O shoes
Warm up with drills and strides, then a warm down jog before it started to rain. It always rains on me on Day 1 of the POM.
