Orienteering race 16:39 [4] **** 2.5 km (6:40 / km) +50m 6:03 / km
spiked:15/18c shoes: Trainers
British Elite Sprint Championships - Nottingham Uni - Heats - Women C
Didn't enjoy this race at all. I felt I started out well, but my stomach was still hurting from pilates and it just got more painful the further round the course I got, to the point where I had to walk 12-13 and part of 15-finish. Not really a great thing to be doing in a sprint race!!! Technically it was ok, I made some poor route choice 8-9-10 though.
Pretty disappointed cos normally i enjoy sprint races the best but definately not today! Unsurprisingly I didn't qualify for the A final.

Orienteering race 18:56 [4] **** 2.6 km (7:17 / km) +60m 6:32 / km

Womens B Final
Wasn't sure if I was going to run this race or not because of my stomach pain but I put on the deep heat and decided to have a go.
Set off pretty slowly because I didn't want to push too hard and risk injury and i just had a steady race. Took some really silly route choices in the middle section again (7-8, 10-11, 12-13) so must have lost a good bit of time there. I just didn't push hard enough and ended up being about 40 seconds down on where I was aiming for.
I'm not disappointed but I think it is sprint races like this where a lack of fitness shows up and the concentration goes.
