orienteering race 1:31:00 [5]
Hoias Day Cup Iddefjordfella. Medium Course, Fantastic course - 8.1km & 9 controls! Strange start - mini map and 1.3km 145M climb to start, but timed as a bonus Hill Sprint.... Set off steadily and wasn't in bad state by map start. A couple of (relatively) short legs then crossed the map to far corner, managed to pick a decent route and executed OK, couple more short legs then long legs 6, 7 & 8, got the right line (I think on all), but tiring from 7 - wished I had taken some food. Ended up on 91 minutes (brikke wasn't working as the plan for me to borrow one fell through and the only extra one was dodgy (the organiser told me it probably didn't work!). Still I was wearing a tracker (as was everyone) and so time taken from this. 10minutes down on Kjetil Bjorlo and about 2 mins down on fastest girl. Very pleased :-)
Didn't feel I was forcing the running too much but very tired at end.
Note
Went for walk round Frekriksten Festning while Helen revised. Very enjoyable and legs didn't feel too bad on uphill (took it slowly!).
Thoughts on day - need to investigate tracking units for talent squad - would add a huge amount of exta data for use in coaching and an extra level of professionalism & inspiration....... Depends a bit on cost, of course.
