9 AM

Running warm up/down 9:53 [2] 0.97 mi (10:09 / mi) +2m 10:06 / mi

New warm up

Orienteering race 47:59 [4] 6.54 km (7:20 / km) +37m 7:08 / km

Another solid race! I definitely wasn't moving as fast as I was yesterday, partly because of the longer distance, partly because I was being more cautious. I think I may have lost ~3 mins of mistakes/hesitations/route choice, but that still would put me two+ minutes behind the girl who came in first today. Wowie she was moving quickly!

Running warm up/down 10:18 [2] 0.97 mi (10:37 / mi) +1m 10:35 / mi

These past three days I've been experimenting with my warm up. In addition to a slow jog and then a few strides I've started doing two-ish minutes of race pace running. I think it's helped me get focused and into the flow of things.

Orienteering race 22:54 [4] 3.65 km (6:17 / km) +60m 5:48 / km

Open Sprint on course 2A.
Gross. I ran fast (yay) but I made poor route choices going to 7, 14, and 24, and I got stuck behind an unmapped fence on my way to 17... grr.
Shout out to E Wadz for her overall first place!

Day 2. Not as solid navigationally as Day 1. I had a really strange error on the tenth control where my distance was way off. I should have realized much earlier that I had passed the control... It was pretty tough running the first half of the course where the majority of the climb was. The second half was such a joy in the marshy area with form line hills. Everything clicked for me in that area and I could speed through eleven to the finish.

Running warm up/down 3:22 [2] 0.26 mi (13:09 / mi) +2m 12:50 / mi

First day of the Scottish Six Days!
I went into this race wanting to only focus on my navigation, and that's how I started off woohoo! But after nailing the first few controls I decided to pick up my speed a little bit. I was slightly off to the left on four but I was doing a good job keeping my head up and spotted the control before I got pulled too far off. Had a bobble on 10 when I ran to the wrong patch of green. I should've been looking for the contour feature the control was on, not the vegetation around it. The second half of the course was very physical, but I did a good job pushing through it and staying in contact with the map despite my oxygen-deprived brain.
I ended up 11/49ish ~7 mins back from the leader. I'm happy with that result but I will be looking for cleaner races the rest of this week.
