Orienteering race 50:45 [3]
(injured)
Not enough days in New Zealand to redeem myself. Started ok but I took a really silly route choice to 3 and couldn't really get past it mentally because I knew i'd lost so much time. Orienteered well 6-9 but I was so bad at dealing with the slippery ground that it didn't really make much of a difference. Then tried to go a bit too straight to 10 and hadn't planned how to navigate the cliffs closely enough and got stuck, and then stopped one cliff line too early aswell. Winsplits hasn't even picked up all my mistakes though so I think that shows I was just woeful in the slippery terrain, far too much of a weakling. Legs were struggling of course after three races but I feel like I was slightly stronger than I thought i'd be after the preparation, although the speed was definitely lacking. Extremely disappointed overall though. It was such a great chance to get such awesome race practice in such awesome terrain and I feel so bummed that I orienteered so poorly and wasted it. Well and truly got myself a nice list of things to work on.
