Orienteering race in England (interland). Felt good physically and did a good first part of the race but noticed that my compass was acting weird again, you could not rely on it. In the middle of the course this has cost me a lot of time as my compass was not guiding me in the right direction. After 2/3rd of the race I realized why my compass was acting weird. It's because I ran with gloves of Asics that have a little magnet in it to keep them together when I am not wearing the gloves... I was really pissed when I realized this because I made mistakes because of these magnets as they were influencing the compass and sending me into the wrong direction. But I am also a bit relieved because now I know the reason and I have been running with these gloves all winter long.... that's why my results were poor ;), no I was doubting my compass already for some months but now I know the reason and I can have confidence again in my compass and my direction! Look forward to the next competitions as my shape is ok.
