orienteer race 58:57 2.82 km (20:54 / km)
ahr:143 max:194 11c
Ah well, the best laid plans don't always work out. Actually, I did fairly well for 10 of my 11 controls.
But everything fell apart on control 10. I did the opposite of everything I had planned. I was supposed to stop, count to 10 and look at my map if: I saw Mike, the terrain wasn't what I expected or I had just climbed a big hill. I totally ignored all of those.
I did remember those rules earlier in the course, just not when I needed them most. Note to self: you are not in shape and you will get tired, even on a 3K course. Your brain will stop functioning. Bring energy drinks and take a break.
I was so disappointed in myself today.
consistency: 45.6%
time lost: 59.7%

2 PM
orienteer race 22:01 2.15 km (10:14 / km)
ahr:153 max:172 12c
Redeemed myself a little bit on the afternoon sprint. No major mistakes, just slow.
I have the opposite issue than Cristina. When she gets tired, she chooses the around route. When I get tired, the only route I can see is the straight red line. So I chose some less than optimal routes today. But no major meltdown.
consistency: 10.7%
