Event: London Street-O Race #7: Hampstead
 

LOK Hampstead Street-O (1 hr score)

12th/72: http://londonorienteering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads...

So Garmin clearly had issues, no HR data. Also unusually, the start and finish boxes were inside the pub, downstairs, so punched late because I was looking for it outside (it did not affect placing).

I planned to have this as a map memory session, but on hindsight I badly messed up this aspect - I overshot the first control, then I basically gave up trying to memorise the full route to the next control and kept checking the map. The area in the first half was quite tricky so I was slow as well, always checking. Got into the groove and ran a bit better in the second half, but by that point I probably lost my chance to get decent points - although again todays objective should have been the map memory part, which I did not accomplish. Once again - need to be mentally stronger on my goals within the sessions I am doing, this is an important improvement I need to look to do going forward.

Running wise, legs fairly tired still but I could nevertheless get them moving on all the uphills, this may show that there is some positive result of all the hill training recently (alongside the tiredness factor).
