Event: NSW Sprint Championships
9 AM
Running (Road) warm up/down 13:40 [3] 2.4 km (5:42 / km) +50m 5:09 / km
ahr:159 max:177 slept:4.5 shoes: Inov-8 Road-X 233
Over to assembly and up to the start, not feeling sprightly on any sort of gradient which didn't bode well.
Orienteering race (Sprint) 20:55 [5] **** 4.4 km (4:45 / km) +80m 4:21 / km
ahr:174 max:193 spiked:14/21c shoes: Inov-8 Road-X 233
Neither my legs or my head could deal with this today, no regrets but having a house party and minimal sleep the night before this wasn't ideal... particularly on top of 2 races the previous day after minimal training in recent weeks.
From the start flow wasn't great, was constantly hunting for controls in the circle (1, 6, 7, 8, 17) rather than them appearing as they had the previous day (some were hidden, to say the least). But that wasn't where the real problems lay, the legs never got going and my head just wasn't with it, to the point that I started going 6-8, after which it was game over (I was already well off the pace anyway).
Missed the optimum route to 13 (and also hit the dead end to the north behind the building), got a bit pissed off with the convoluted route to 16, and almost punched 18 without visiting 17, just not a good day out. Well and truly chicked too, as well as all the other masses who beat me. Ah well.
