Orienteering race 17:22 [5] 3.45 km (5:02 / km) shoes: Trainers
Resonably pleased with race - wanted to run it as if it were a selection. Focused on reading descriptions & knowing what would be around each control site so could flow better. Stupidly this meant I didn't pay attention on 1-2 route choice and ended up in the dead end losing 30secs. The rest went well though. Some small hesitations and silly things like being on the wrong side of walls losing a few seconds here and there. 8-9 also 90degrees wrong.
Basically I felt i was running strongly but need to just sharpen up. Longer legs i need to have planned a route in advance and shorter ones just use my descriptions still and be more aware of directions.

Slightly hated this race. Was in totally the wrong frame of mind from the beginning, not concentrating or ready to race at all. I knew the routes i wanted to take but never really got there, lacked motivation to push hard and was just wandering around.
Will put this behind me, not my kind of terrain & don't need this negative result to be on my mind.
