Long Champs. My foot is still a bit swollen, and hurts at some moves, but with a good tape and good warmed up, I didn't feel anything during the race. I'm really happy - before the sprint yesterday, I didn't have in mind starting today.
To the race: made 7 mistakes (>=30'') and still was happy with my race.
Perhaps, I'm happy too early?
- 4: too much to the left, felt a bit lost in the green, and didn't have a concept, which direction to go - luckily took the wright direction - 30''
- 8: compas! Too much to the left and relocated at the small depression - 30''
- 10: concept? Relocated at the marked route, leading from the control to the mandatory street-crossing - 30''
- 11: Came to a control on a path, which I interpreted wrong. When I came to the "real" path, noticed the mistake, but didn't know exactely where I was - 90''
- 14: saw a runner from my category running in the wrong direction after no. 13 - and followed her. Realised it at the crossing - 30''
- 15: took the best route (at least I think so, having a good intermediate time despite searching the control). Didn't take enough time preparing the control-area, and circled around a bit - 60''
- 16: couldn't make out the details (white/yellow, ditches) on the map - even standing there and looking at the map for a few seconds. Run down in a few curves until I saw the marking to the finish. 30''
