Orienteering Night 58:04 [4]

10mila Nynäshamn leg 6

Really good race!

I had spent a lot of time in the week trying to get my mind ready and prepare for how to run. Last week I was pretty low in confidence (after being sick for a few weeks round easter, then struggled at Swedish league and FinnSpring now going aswel as hoped) and not really the spring I hoped for so far. Toni really helped me a lot this week!!!

23:30 alarm to get up and eat a little and jog then prepare to run around about 3:00-3:30.

I felt we was a little bit behind where we expected to be in the beginning and although no one ran badly. But being behind meant I got to hear that there was big mistakes happening on leg 6 and saw some bits of GPS.

I knew I wanted to orienteer safe and stop if anything felt strange, relaxed physically using the 95% rule and me smile a lot!! I used this last rule more than ever before, smiling to relax myself throughout the course!! Sounds silly but seemed to work.

I made a few extra safe route choices these was after I hesitated or felt I was loosing some time, especially to no5 and 14. I didnt think no3 and 4 was great and small mistakes to 11 and 13 (but no real time lost). Also mid way to 3 I changed my route after not really sure where I was so decided to be safer (I'd rather loose 15-20s changing my plan than loose more on mistakes). But a part from this is was all really good!
(feels a bit strange not having anything to complain about!)

I felt I was catching up some people which lift me up and made me feel happy but didnt know if they was on leg 5 or 6.

It was really nice to finish and really good to see Petri and Henkka was happy with my run because although it felt pretty good, I wasnt pushing too hard until I realise "this seems a really easy control why is it next to a field? Oh shit its the second last control maybe I should get a move on" so to see there big smiles and positive bouncing energy was great!! (Especially from Finns ;-) )

Turn out the live result made me look a lot better than it was, because I only lost 30s to the lead but that is because the leader went out a long way ahead on 2nd and blow it so got over took.
but I did climb some place so there was still reason to smile and be happy!!

Then the other boys carried on and we climbed upto 40th!!

PS.
First time I ran a short leg at 10mila, every year before has been over 14.5km!
I didnt realise I would notice I was getting old by 4 word from an orienteering relay race "Gaffled Short Night Leg"

Orienteering 36:20 [5]

Swedish League Middle Skåne

Feeling physically pretty bad, not recovered well from the long.

Started feeling it was a bit scrappy and with a small miss at no4 and a biggger mistake at no6 where I saw the control but thought it wasnt mine, until I realised it was and had to turn back!

Here is where I got caught up by Anton Forsberg who start 2min behind me. I thought there was a good chance this would happen and expected it to be a faster pace but was actually ok and I was able to orienteer behind him. I fell just before no10 and my house came out the compass so stopped to find it and Anton got a gap so I pushed to catch him and this put me in the red a bit and from there it felt a bit rough. Then I fell again combined with getting tangled with a load of slower runners at control 15 and he got another gap and I didnt have the legs or mind to chase him back again.

The rest went pretty well, I had forgotten my spare compass but it was ok and helped me remember to look further away and use bigger features so was good training!

This was a good experience watching Anton and running without a compass. Lots of lessons to learn!!

Orienteering 1:35:50 [5]

Swedish League Long -- Helsingborg (almost Denmark)

Open beech forest quite similar to some south England terrain. I tried to run straight pretty much all the time even though there was path options. Thought the terrain was easy running but looks like I lost time with this tactic. Also for some reason I thought I would run 80-85mins so pushed hard from the start and got really tired towards the end. Made a massive mistake where I only used my compass and set it wrong or knocked it so I ran 20degrees or so wrong and came to the path miles away from where I wanted. oops
not a great day but quite fun

Really annoyed about no6, I was really lazy and didnt look at anything but the compass and getting to the big valley. Even when I knew I was going wrong I didnt check what I was doing, just hoped it would turnout ok in the end.
