Orienteering race (Metro Series - North Freo) 57:52 [3] 8.09 km (7:09 / km) +128m 6:38 / km
shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
Was meeting a friend just down the road from where orienteering was today so made for a convenient location.
I realised when I got there I had forgotten my HRM DOH! oh well. Had a chat to a few before the start and had a bit of a slow get away as was talking to emma post the bell.
Slow around the course there wasnt really too much route choice so was following the same people most of the way. My legs still not goo right glute/hammy was sore for first bit the left calf was feeling tight and threatening a ping. Stomach was also churning and just felt like I needed a toilet break for 3/4 of the course. didnt make for the most pleasant of runs. Oh to be feeling 100% and moving freely!
Top end of the course was a bit weird - I had been in contact with Polly a lot fo the course and coming down from 23 I saw her on the bottom path before going up to 29 or 30. I got down and started up toward 29 and didnt see her so figured 29 was a drop. Turns out she turned on the motor because she got 29 and like me dropped 25/26. Not sure how she put so much ground on me in that section given we where similar pace rest of the day and I was within sight from 23. oh well - put it down to me feeling like crap.
Made one error on 24 to 27 and cut through onto the path and ended up running more distance I think. oh well probably not too bad.
Still nice to be out and about even if it was a bit of a plod.
Nice breaky after down the road at rabbit in the moon.
