Note
(injured) (rest day)
Ankle stiff and sore this morning so not going to risk it by orienteering. Bit of a shame, but it's not like I'm in the mix for the medals!
From looking at the splits for the events this week, I was running quickly enough to have achieved some top 5 finishes. While I'm not surprised my fitness is comparable, I am surprised that's translated reasonably well to running through the terrain. However, that has been completely undone by my rubbish navigation. Best day was 5 minutes of mistakes, worst day was nearly 20 minutes! There's an easy way to fix that, but I'm not ready to get back into orienteering seriously. Got other things to do first. Still had an enjoyable week, great to catch up with people I'd not seen in a long time. It's nice how the 6 days brings us all out of orienteering retirement for a few days.
