Orienteering race (Oceania Relay) 57:13 [3]
(injured)
My goodness, what a shocker. Started good, really good focus and felt pretty ready to race properly with other people around, but thats also what made me come undone. Lost sight of Tash and Krystal coming out of 4 but saw Katie and thought it was going to be really good to have someone pushing me to race hard still, so I decided to slightly change my route choice to 5 and go a bit straighter to stay near her but I completely lost it. It was vague in there and without a proper plan and attackpoint I had no hope, kept trying to relocate off tracks that weren't tracks and started to get into a real panic because I knew i'd screwed it. It'd be alot easier to look at the positives of the race if number 5 wasn't such a huge blow up, honestly have no idea what I was doing. Maybe too focussed on proving myself after the mp and not enough on how to orienteer, absolutely kicking myself.
