10 AM
Run - Road warm up/down 23:00 [2] 3.0 km (7:40 / km)
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (3)
Went for a quick trot around the model area and then general silly looking stuff to warm up. Quite damp.
11 AM
Run - Orienteering race 14:21 [5] 2.9 km (4:57 / km) +10m 4:52 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (3)
WMOC Porto Alegre, Sprint Q, M40, 2.9km, 10m.
Fastest mpk that I have run in an O race - though considering how fast, flat and easy the area was it wasn't much of an achievement. They tried to add some interest by 'building' additional fences but these were easy to see and just meant that you had to wiggle around a bit and didn't create any notable route choices.
Pouring rain the whole way around, which was actually lovely to run in, although the (thankfully few) paved areas were lethal. Not so nice for hanging around, though it was still over 20 degrees, so we left before any results went up.
Didn't lose any notable time anywhere, just couldn't run any quicker. Plenty of controls out there but there were so few features it was more than easy to work out what they were on and which one you needed.
I'm sure that the times will be very close so no idea if I did enough to make the final tomorrow - would like to as the final area is steep and wooded, so should be a lot more fun.
