Orienteering race 24:44 5.0 km (4:57 / km)
shoes: inov8 road-x 233 (iii)
Imperial College park race
Another good race on this tricky map. I think I had different attitudes for the first and second half of this race. I started quite steady and focused on planning ahead for the complicated section over the first few controls. That meant I could go clean to #12 climbing to 2nd place.
Then I have to admit I got a bit vain as I went past a couple of colleagues and thought I should put the hammer down through the easy 13-17. It didn't work out for me. I ran past #13 and got #19 wrong, thinking it was high. Those mistakes dropped me down to 7th place. Will try and learn from that.
Felt like I was running properly for the first time since April, although I really started to fade on the last few around the park.
