Orienteering 1:55:48 [3] 13.2 km (8:46 / km) +600m 7:09 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212 2012
NAOC Long
Amazing sleep and woke feeling fresh and ready to run.
Sloppy on the first 2 controls, but got my act together and ran well on the first technical section (more awesome white woods and rock detail). Made a 3 minute route choice error on #10 and 30 secs on both #9 and #17 - trouble spotting the feature in the circle. Also lost time on #11 after banging my knee hard and having to walk/hobble for a minute.
Apart from that the race was pretty clean. Then late in the course that I realised I wasn't feeling tired/surprised I hadn't caught anyone having made no real mistakes. Almost on cue Nick Barrable (-9mins), burst past and the penny dropped - I'd been running the race at smt pace (one downside of not having the Garmin HR feedback).
I stick with him for a bit and remember how you should run whilst racing. Finish off the course again with no real dramas, despite 2 massive stacks (one right in front of the camera, which was thankfully offline).
Lack of tiredness/soreness at the end confirms my softness.
