Orienteering race 2:01:00 [5] *** 17.0 km (7:07 / km) +715m 5:53 / km
shoes: Jalas Jukkola
Southern Championships
Oh good lord - what a terrible race. Not sure I've ever struggled as much physically as towards the end of this. I tried to go for it a bit more than in previous classic distances, but was flagging before halfway. Then Matt caught me which was disheartening (although I'd have felt better if I'd known how much of a flyer he was on), and over the last km or so everyone I'd caught started to come back past me.
There were probably a few reasons: not enough food in the morning, not enough gel (especially given I tipped half of the one I did have down my front), I put in a lot yesterday, plus was late to the start so set off flustered and having just run hard. But I seem to have a specific fitness problem with classics - I was expecting to do much better than this given the chasing sprint result. Hmm.
To cap it all off I've just noticed I mispunched #1, I had no idea (and am a bit surprised, but haven't seen the map again yet). Can't say I'm too disappointed to have that result erased from the records though, UK cup points aside.

JOK chasing sprint prologue
Got a better result than I expected having chosen the wrong route to #6 and wobbled a bit on the way. Pleased with speed and strength.

JOK chasing sprint chase
Knew given who was around me that this would be mainly a physical challenge. The pack ahead was pretty scrappy for a lot of it, which helped me, and I was happy to sit in with them and give it as much as I could on the last couple of hills.
Pleased with the overall result of 25th, and felt good to really give it a go physically.
