Event: Adelaide NOL
10 AM
Orienteering race 24:56 3.84 km (6:30 / km) +136m 5:31 / km
ahr:158 max:165 shoes: Puma Faas 250 Trail
Sprint qualifier at Flinders Uni.
Did a reasonable warm up for this, mostly with fletch. Heart came good about half way through the warm up after being twitchy all morning but started to misfire again as soon as I stopped and wasn't great during the race. Heart rate was fairly constant but higher than the effort warranted and I always felt a bit short of breath. Pretty solid run technically, just a couple of little wobbles and happy enough with my routes but I was never going to be fast enough with the steep hills and my heart not cooperating fully. Enjoyed the downhill bits.

Sprint final at Waite campus.
Heart was a bit better for this one but I still took it very slowly on the uphill legs to try to keep it under control. Lots of very narrow passages in the early part of the course before it opened out a bit in the second half. I wasn't prepared to take my eye off the map to read any control descriptions until the 11th control so I can easily understand how Rachel got through most of the course before realising anything was wrong when she was given the men's map. She was beating me very consistently and I think was about a minute ahead when she got to 14 and noticed the code didn't match her descriptions.
Enjoyed this course more as the first part of the course was tricky enough that I didn't really mind taking it slowly up the hills and it was mostly downhill through the easier second half. Nice variation with the bit through the arboretum at the end too. Had a couple of slightly sub-optimal legs but nothing too bad.
