Orienteering race 51:02 [5] **** 5.7 km (8:57 / km)
spiked:18/22c

Costa Cálida Middle

Decent middle if you take out that onnnnnne mistake on three. Really fun course. Looking forward to continue training this stuff. Positive part: I got caught by a train of two Swedes and an Italian at 13. They then started following me, and when they didn't it was because they were making a mistake. Good feeling. Gotta recreate that.

Error time: 6:16

Errors:
-A reentrant too early on two
-Completely wrong gully on three, followed it a ways up.

Causes:
-Thinking about the other guys around me way too much. It was a chase start and I let the idea of others catching me get into my head... and then they caught me... and passed me.

Solution:
-Focus on your race! Focus on your orienteering!

Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)

The guys were rushing out of town to get back to Madrid. So I didn't get the cooldown I would've liked. :(

Orienteering race 1:44:28 [4] **** 12.0 km (8:42 / km) +480m 7:15 / km
spiked:20/28c

Costa Cálida Long

Used my fancy new magnifier for the first time. It helped a ton to read the many streambeds in 1:15.

A few errors here and there. And some routes to improve on.

Overall much better than my last run here (World Cup 2014)

Error time: 9:52
Some of this time is from incorrect control descriptions and a misplaced control. But I still made mistakes.

Errors:
-Taking wrong gully from 7 to 8
-Entering wrong gully in 11
-Running past feature on 12
-Misreading gullies on 16

Causes:
-I often wasn't keeping my map oriented properly.
-12 I was lacking a good attackpoint.

Solutions:
-The magnifier is great, but I need to practice keeping the map oriented with it on. More practice. Yes!

spiked:16/18c

Costa Cálida Sprint

Fun race. Really interesting getting around the town. Also an interesting mix between the castle and the rest of the town. Unfortunately because the long was so late I got a late lunch. This later gave me a side stitch. It started at about number 9. I would say I went about 30 seconds slower overall because of it.

Winsplits says I have no errors, but I disagree.

Error time: 1:00

Errors:
-Bad route to 11 and 17

Causes:
-Distraction from side stitch. I wasn't as focused with the pain in my side.

Solutions:
-Take care with diet. I can plan for future races to see if they are going to be within a short time period. Planning for this I'll bring lunch and eat earlier.

Night-O: Sprint Corridor + Downhills

Good night training. It's difficult to do night-o's without controls or streamers, but you get used to it. First time doing a sprint corridor. Easy to go out of the corridor. Gotta print a better map.

First one I was just waking my legs up on. Last one I wanted to keep under control to hit my paces. I was expecting a big adrenaline rush, so I ended up going just a little bit slower.
