Norwegian EOC Tests - WRE Middle - 21st +3:20

One of those classic weekends with a physcally bad, technically good middle and vice versa for the long the next day. Think sleep deprivation is hitting from the last few weeks, plus JK, so felt quite knackered in the bumpy terrain. But maybe this is as it should feel, since the middle requires a much more rushed physical approach and technically fine orienteering. At first had no clue how to orienteer on this stuff but was quite lucky off the start with some easy first few legs. Got into it more as the race progressed but legs were ready to finish before halfway.

Hugely relieved when I caught Speake after the road crossing and we began sharing the load a bit more. Would have been considerably slower without this. Felt like I could barely read the map for the final part of the race and was going off vague bearings and massive oversimplification of the map, so not choosing good lines at all - "take a bearing, pass a hill and hit the control" was a common plan on the vast majority of legs today, but it seemed to work. A bit more awake, a bit cleaner, a bit faster, and a bit more incentive would have yielded a very nice result.
