Event: 2. Nationaler, Andelfingen
 

First race in Kleinandelfingen. mistake to 1 as I took the wrong path. to 4 and 7 there would have been a faster routechoice/ or I was not running all out. missed 12 a bit but nothing major. good split til the finish. (3-4-4-6-7-7-3-1-1).
the place (6th) after the first round is certainly very good. I'm not so sure how to judge my performance. Probably I wasn't pushing hard enough around the course (for example between 7-11). As this section was generally rather easy orienteering. More evidence is that I got the two best splits at the end. Probably indicating some power left.

Not a very good technical race for me. The legs were still feeling sparkly, but the head was just too slow. I wasn't really ready and expect to control 6 I probably took many slower routes. However, making mistakes doesn't really help. 14th place is not really what I hoped for.

However, some mistakes are a bit hidden. to 1 mistake, to 4 slower route around on the street, 5? really going down and up was faster?, 6 yehii, to 10 loosing 30" when not seeing the stairs leading directly to the control. also bigger mistakes to 14-15-16. To 18 I ran left which is ok. then left again (not ok) 21 missed the control a bit. good til the finish.
probably the legs would have had a better place in them, but technically I was a bit behind and that's really poisonous in such a tricky sprint area.
Overall I think I lost a place. But 7th is still my second best rank in HAL, imagine that! with such a shitty second round.
