Orienteering race 2:06:28 [4] 17.8 km (7:06 / km) +390m 6:24 / km
ahr:169 shoes: Icebug (ii)
Again it was nice to run a JK classic I could cope with physically, though I knew the distance would be a bit of a stretch. But I fuelled up well and took 3 gels, and didn't crash as badly as I have done on long races in the past.
Not quite as solid technically as the middle, but decent overall. Made a couple of disappointing mistakes: at #7 I took a good route but just switched off a bit near the very end; and at #32 aimed off too far. Thought I was scrappy through the rhodi corridor just after the crossing, but it was tricky there and with hindsight I didn't do too badly.
Very much had to manage my effort physically at the end as my hammies started to cramp going through terrain. But just about hung on.

Orienteering race 39:18 [5] 6.4 km (6:08 / km) +125m 5:36 / km

Good run. I felt I could run quick by my standards and that the biggest risk would be if I overran my technique. Think I got the balance about right - never quite fully in control of things as the controls came thick & fast, but I was able to slow down or take safer routes where I needed to.
So no real errors to speak of. I came pretty close at #5, 22 and 23, but took the time to sort things out properly rather than pressing on.
Really enjoyed running a JK middle on an area that suits me physically for the first time in a while.

Orienteering race 19:01 [5] 4.1 km (4:38 / km)
ahr:176 shoes: Asics Hyperspeed (ii)
Managed about 3/4 of a good run, but really lost it in the last k or so. I think mentally after I crossed the river at #22 I started treating it as the run in to home, and stopped taking in enough detail from the map. All of a sudden I kept turning corners without much of a picture in mind and getting disoriented, and didn't quite have the discipline to slow it down a bit. I dropped back by almost 2 mins over controls 23-26, which were really not that hard. Especially #26, where I stopped just a few metres short.
So a bit disappointing, but on the plus side felt good enough physically.
