Running warm up/down 6:00 [1]
Partly on the warmup map, partly just on trail, so logged as running. Becoming sunny, woo! Legs didn't feel too tired from yesterday.
Orienteering race 1:09:51 [4] 9.3 km (7:31 / km) +350m 6:19 / km
Another good one! Super psyched. 2nd place to Louise, just 38 seconds back. Sam just a minute or so behind- awesome to have such a close race between the 3 of us, lead definitely switched and each one of us won several legs!
Not very happy with the first 3, but got into a pretty good groove after those. For things I really had to consider a route choice, I did just take a chill pill, like Sandra suggested, made a plan, then ran. The two long legs went ok, but I lost about a minute to both Sam and Louise to 13- maybe this was just hesitation along the way? I don't see an obviously different better route...
I was really happy I dealt well with the 3 detailed controls in the cliffs right before the spectator- definitely required a change of pace in orienteering speed. Then was a bit off on my bearing to the spectator, which is always embarrassing, but whatever, then scared on the hill control right after. After that, basically running in!
