Orienteering race 54:33 [4] 10.4 km (5:15 / km)
shoes: O shoes
Interland main race. 3rd place, 5 seconds behind 2nd place and just under 2 minutes behind Barrable. I seem to keep ending up on the wrong side of these close results - except against Rob.
It was an OK run, I didn't make any mistakes greater than 30 seconds which I was pleased with, but there were a couple of these, and a few smaller hesitations and wobbles. Lost just over 3 minutes in total. Running didn't feel quite as strong today.
What is more worrying is that a pattern has emerged in my recent races where I start strongly and cleanly, but then appear to relax a bit in the middle and make mistakes, usually for three of four controls in a row, before I get my head back together and finish well.
But all in all an enjoyable weekend, and more good experience.
