Orienteering 40:00 [3] 6.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Salomon Fel-Cross 3 July
Final public race as well as a little running around the map afterwards with Shep. I kinda wish I'd picked up a different course and run it afterwards.
When I went out after my course I ran in my Nike Pegasus. I was actually amazed how much easier it was to run on the sand in those shoes than the shoes I'd raced in all weekend. The bigger footprint seemed to give me so much more push-off than the thin salomons. Not particularly happy with how I went on the course today but it was more of a concentration thing than anything else. I don't think my head was in the game after yesterday and so I kinda just chose lazy routes and didn't really check the map enough and didn't have techniques or plans made. On the controls that I did have a plan in place I nailed the control so it seems like a case of just needing to have the mental discipline to have a plan for every leg and keep contact etc. The dunes are much less daunting to me now than they were a few days ago that's for sure.
