Running 8:00 [2] 0.85 mi (9:24 / mi) +12m 9:00 / mi
ahr:115 max:128 shoes: VJ Integrator (8.5)
Warm up run to start. No warm down as it was chucking it down.
Orienteering 59:58 6.94 mi (8:38 / mi) +23m 8:33 / mi
ahr:135 max:150 shoes: VJ Integrator (8.5)
Scottish 6 Days, M21L, Day 1.
10th place (winner 48.56).
First orienteering race since the British Relays in May 2012. It was all going pretty well until I had a complete brain failure and blew over 8 minutes on control 16 out of 18.
Perhaps I was getting a little bit over-confident, and I lost contact for a few seconds and then relocated further along the leg than I actually was. It took me a little while to work out what I'd done, and then I compounded the error by missing the control again on the way back in.
Disappointed in myself for doing something so stupid. Also disappointed in the planning, as the first 8 controls were nothing more than a glorified orange course, running along a path, hopping off to get a control, then running along the path again before hopping off for the next one. Lossie deserves better than that.
Hopefully I can up my game for the rest of the week and not make any more idiotic errors.
