Running 35:00 [3] 3.2 mi (10:56 / mi)

Running to the start, realizing I forgot stuff, running back to the lodge, and running back to the start.

Orienteering 1:45:00 [3] 9.3 km (11:17 / km)

Very slow race. I am trying to nurture my injured foot and part of that is not running too fast on long races. That being said I was still suffering physically so I probably couldnt have gone much faster…

Controls Claimed: 15

Stretching after run.

Orienteering 10:00 [3] 0.5 mi (20:00 / mi)

Orienteering 17:25 [3] 2.7 km (6:27 / km)

Pretty bad race from me today in terms of pace. I am going to blame this on two things: 1. My injured foot 2. Me just doing bad navigation

I made a lot of mistakes near the beginning revolving around staircases and walls, namely, not getting on the proper side of them and/or misreading the map. This led to multiple 30 second mistakes, which was less than ideal. Outside of my mistakes, I felt as though I was running good, but the wet pavement made it hard to have speed in certain areas.

Now, issue 2. I somehow left the soles for my orienteering shoes behind in WA, which was not good considering I am dealing with a close-to-injured left foot. Luckily, I didnt really have any problems with my foot today, until suddenly near the last two controls when it spiked up. Since this was at the end of the race it didnt really have much of an impact on my time but I’m just hoping it feels good for tomorrow.

Controls Claimed: 20
