Event: ESOC Long-O
Orienteering race (Long O) 2:05:50 [3] ** 17.26 km (7:17 / km) +585m 6:14 / km
ahr:143 max:160 spiked:6/7c shoes: Inov8 RocLite
Medium race, posted as 14.3km +690m. Didn't feel up to the long course - and it was a good job I didn't go for it, as I completely bonked at 1h30! It's been so long since I've run a reasonably long race; ah, time was when I could run twice this distance and climb in 3 hrs on nothing but a handful of jelly babies and a splash of water. Sadly I am an unfit auld bar-steward now! Next time I shall take at least a small bottle of water and a cereal bar. Durrr. I was almost beyond hunger on finishing - almost. Anyway...
I ended up 3rd, 15 mins down on Dave Robertson (1st), but I should have been 7-8 mins faster over the last 25 mins, and even then I was taking it pretty easy for the first part of the race. I also blew 4 mins on #2, despite having taken the hill-runners route contouring around the hill rather than descending to the longer but faster path, as it was supposed to lead me straight into the control. D'oh!
Quite chuffed that, at least, none of my crocked bits broke/ripped/fell off.
More of that isotonic Becks on return home. Beccy commented that perhapsh this shtuff ish why I'm not sho fit theese daysh, but I wash'nt convinshed. Hic.
