Orienteering warm up/down 30:00 [1]

Tried to do 10mins before each race. It was so so cold and I felt like bambi on the ice most of the time!
From the day I learnt to take a bit more time and care to number 1 on sprints, and not to become complacent near the end but to concentrate right to the finish.
10 AM

Orienteering race 13:09 [4] 2.33 km (5:39 / km) +30m 5:18 / km

Dawsholm Park
Apart from an unmapped path confusing me lots at number 1 all was good. Really liked this little wood, and think I was fastest(?)
12 PM

Orienteering race 13:31 [4] 2.13 km (6:21 / km) +50m 5:41 / km

Pollok Country Park
Think I underestimated this one, thought it would be as easy as the first one but it was actually much trickier than it appeared, lots of vague green not mapped very well. Lost a fair bit at 5, 6 & 7 I would guess. The paths were lethal!
2 PM

Orienteering race 30:03 [4] 4.83 km (6:13 / km) +60m 5:51 / km

Linn Park.
Chasing start, started 2nd & finished 3rd after Anina sprinted past, definitely couldn't keep up with her speediness!
Not sure why they picked this area, it was pretty rubbish. Just a cross country race basically, a lot of track running and no route choice. Definitely favoured the runners and caused some major trains.
Totally confused by number one and missed the last one too. Just felt slow and painful with the cold air in my lungs. Enjoyed the day though, and got a nice festive buff :)
