Orienteering race 1:43:30 [4] 16.7 km (6:12 / km) +715m 5:06 / km
shoes: VJ Integrator (8.5)
I'd totally shot myself in the foot by doing so badly yesterday, and had a 10.42 start time as a reward. And the snow storm that I ran in for the first hour was an added bonus. Didn't want to really go for it and blow another race, so it had to be a consolidation run.
Started off well, navigated smoothly through a completely empty forest, and at number 10 after 40 minutes of racing was in the top 15. Missed 12 by a couple of minutes, but then after the spectator control I got sloppy and lost another 4 minutes. Ended up 30th, 15th Brit. Not good.
So an extremely disappointing weekend. My results didn't reflect what I feel I should be achieving. It's a couple of weeks until the next set of races, so I need to build my confidence back up so I perform well at the sprints and middle. To coin a phrase from Neil and Craney: I'm in a boo.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: VJ Integrator (8.5)
Run to start in snow storm. Bit of jogging around in snow storm. Didn't warm down again because (a) it was far too cold and (b) I was in a boo again.
