Not really sure what my head was like going into this...but it definitely wasn't into it...
3: Forced to relocate off the road, had tried to use the vegetation going in but it didn't work.
4: Went way too far to the south of 4 and ended up on the other road. Huge mistake...
5: Little bit confused in this area...
7: Thought that I had hit the ridge perfectly and used it as an attackpoint into the control. A lot more green here and vegetation is everywhere. Ended up using Brad coming out of 8 to find 7.
10: Too far south and placed around there a bit...
11-12: Should have taken these a lot slower and focused on the orienteering.
13: Too far south and confused the ridges.
14: Stopped too early on the hill and then relocated from there.
Overall a pretty terrible race. My head wasn't in it and I haven't been able to concentrate while orienteering for a while. It is quite worrying... I was definitely able to concentrate a lot better on sunday while doing the red course and a bit of the blue course.
Worst of all I rolled my ankle again... not very much colour coded orienteering planned for the next few months. My base training starts this week and I need to start working on my speed. With world games only 14 weeks away I can't afford to be an idiot...
