orienteering race 46:44 [4] 5.3 km (8:49 / km) +210m 7:22 / km
Urban/campus/woodland race, Aberystwyth, Croeso day 6. Feeling quite good beforehand, but it didn't last. Actually I wasn't bad as long as it wasn't uphill, but as soon as I hit a hill the palpitations started and I was down to walking speed. One little mistake in the woods (the control 'on top' of the earthbank was only visible from the far side, so I ran past it and ran back), possibly a couple of controls in the university I didn't get the best lines, but otherwise quite good. I don't really like this sort of thing though.
21st place.
Note
Overall 13th place, but after the first 2 days I was never really in the game. I've had a good few weeks following my rest, and I was quite hopeful for this week, but I think the build up of fatigue is just too much. And trying to do too many other things other than orienteering, but then we are supposed to be on holiday. I just cannot expect to be able to compete at multi-day events.
Evie did really well to win her class, the most consistent performer over the week.
