Orienteering 14:49 [5] 3.5 km (4:14 / km) +140m 3:32 / km
Sprint Final. 15th
Ran well through the first section but got to 5 having no idea of what to do for 6. Ended up taking a bad route through a terraced field with some very steep banks which were a bit hard to see on the map. I then followed this up with a mistake on 8 (bad exit and didn't see the wall so had to adjust mid leg) and 9 (didn't know where the control was and faffed when I got near). I think from these three legs I lost 30 seconds. My performance was better from then on, except I also lost 12 seconds to Peter on the long leg (13). I'm not sure if it was route or physical (also spannered the exit from 12) but I was struggling to open up on the flat section. Last bit went ok.
A bit disappointed as in the build up I was most concerned about my physical shape (which in the end was ok, even after 3 races). I wasn't on top form but my shape was good enough for a top 10 if I had held it together better technically.
