Running warm up/down 20:00 [3]

15 min jog to the start and then a little extra because i over estimated how long to leave. Felt pretty good at this stage and keen for a good run!
No warm down because...

Orienteering 1:12:11 [3]

Following logging this on attackpoint i'm never thinking of this run ever again! I dont even want to log it all because there's no way in the world it should've taken me this long! :( Started off feeling pretty good physically apart from the feeling im getting a bit of a cold, but it was nice forrest to run through again so it didnt bother me too much. I couldnt get my direction right from the very start though, even on the first control it was hard to make myself go where my compass was pointing me from my attackpoint for some reason. There was only six controls but i would've liked to have been happy with at least one of them... but my nav just did not improve! I dont know whether it was that i wasn't being careful or precise enough but i felt like i couldnt run anymore than 400m without checking my map and realising i'd gone off. I think i started to get a bit frustrated and exhausted because i honestly could not work out what i was doing wrong, and I had a bit of a moment where i couldnt for the life of me remember whether i had actually crossed a watercourse towards the end of leg number five. Anyway it ended up with me having a little bit of a panic/anxiety attack, possibly made worse by my head beating from a cold, possibly because of exhaustion i'm not really sure but i just couldnt control my breathing and had to sit down for a fair while. Finished the course because it was just a straight run back anyway. It wasnt easy running and my head felt really hot and kinda dizzy, but im glad i made myself finish, i would've been more cranky if i hadn't. Anywhoooooo, this run is now being written off and never to be thought of again :)
