Orienteering race 1:46:00 [4] 15.0 km (7:04 / km) +150m 6:44 / km
shoes: Icebug O-shoe

NAOC Long
Another nice and tough challenge.
Started pretty suboptimal with overshooting 1 and very shaky 2nd.
Caught NB again after 5 (who started 3min afterwards but overtook me to the 2nd). He was running slightly higher speed especially on tracks hence I was hanging in for most of the time until 12 only able to take the lead occasionally. Lost him to 13 when making a parallel mistake on one of the small tracks but caught him again on 14 where he seemed to have made a mistake. Was overlooking 16 and only realized when I already passed the control on the path and had to return.
Was afterwards overtaken by ML (as always with a big smile - while I was suffering already quite a bit).
Overlooked again 18 on the map (not sure if I ever managed to do that twice in 1 race...) clearly struggling with the tiredness and reading the 1:15k map. Adding another swing in the circle and as of then fighting in the survival gear towards the finish.

Nice ending of a couple of days off!

Orienteering warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)

Orienteering race 41:52 [4] 6.0 km (6:59 / km) +60m 6:39 / km
shoes: Inov Oroc 280 2014

NAOC middle distance
Nice and challenging middle distance with limited runnability and sight for most of the course.

Mixed up already after the start a footpath with the mapped tracks and continued straight already losing around 1.5min to correct back to the path and fighting through the high bushes.
Invested a bit to get back onto the map to 2 and hesitated before 3. Ok until 7. Long leg to 8 was rather shaky. Direction mistake to 10 and 11.
Another bummer similar to the start after the specator control - again couldn't figure out the network of paths and lost another 1min.
Another direction mistake to 18 and hesitation to 19.

Clearly not happy with the overall performance. Not expecting zero mistakes but investing time on nearly half the controls is disappointing.

Looking forward to tomorrow (despite the 1:15k...)

Crosstraining 3:30:00 [0]

Hiking the centennial trail in the Algoquin park. With Horsepower and Aika.
Very nice and scenic trail, often along ridges with spectactular views over the park. Rather chilly (high 40s) and windy and some rain.
