Orienteering race 1:07:07 [4] 9.82 km (6:50 / km) +377m 5:44 / km
spiked:10/12c shoes: Spiky Salomons
Silva League Long in Gothenburg. H20E2 (ie not good enough to be proper elite)
So this was good I guess. Bad route to 1, but spiked it. Around on the path was about 2 mins faster I think...
Stopped a bit early at 4, but no major time loss.
I actually lost time on the way to 7, but it doesn't really look like it on QR. I just veered a bit to the left. Also lost a wee bit of time in the circle. Caught some one there and sat behind him half way to 8 while I planned no. 10, then ran ahead and got it pretty perfectly.
My route to 10 was pretty poor though. Straight in from the river instead of between the OOBs would have been a good bit better.
Felt really good physically the whole way round, but maybe attacked the hills a bit too much, considering there was another race the next day.
1st! wooo. Got me bumped up to real elite for the Middle.
I need to work on my route choices.
