Orienteering race (ACT Long Champs) 1:13:11 [5] 6.9 km (10:36 / km) +335m 8:32 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 350
A pretty poor effort today with nav mistakes at 2, 4, 5 and 6 and a slight overrun at 8. Also, although my running fitness is OK, I struggled with terrain fitness coming off the Half last weekend. After that all was good:-) Was too high on 2 and then no plan when I got into the rock at 4. Missed it high and long, then again high on very short leg to 5 before brain fade on 6, stopping short and completely missed reading the big clearing that I was wandering past. After that, got my head together and started to plan the legs with only the slight miss at 8. Got 2nd in a small field but well down on David Polland who had a great run in tough terrain for his first ever Champs win!
