orienteering race 2:01:30 [5]
Ultra long! This was really fun! First two loops were good, not many mistakes (just small wobbles or hesitations) and was mostly with Tash. Then on the start of the third loop she took off (I was waiting for that to happen haha) and I guess I started to get tired here because on no4 of that loop I made a HUGE error. Stopped far too early for some reason and just spent ages going back and forth between watercourses and up and down the steep slope. Started getting in a serious panick too because I was sure I'd thrown the whole race away!! Eventually decided to continue along to no5....and then bumped into no4. Sweet relief!! Anyway then I continued on VERY carefully, and the rest of the race was clean but slow. Didn't see Tash at all because she'd also done a huge mistake!
So very annoyed about that mistake, but apart from that I'm happy and really surprised that my body handled it ok, considering I don't do any long runs haha.
