Orienteering 1:17:30 [4] 9.56 km (8:06 / km) +410m 6:41 / km
shoes: Adidas
Orienteering in Spain. Awesome area, nice map, pleasantly surprised by the quality of it all.
It was so warm, struggling with it on the warm up. Running with GoPro and base plate compass. Also was using a little card as SI. Cool but probably prefer on finger. Started nicely but took a fall to 2, cuts down my hip and painful. Got on with it.
Into 4, not reading the map well and ran straight into an impassable marsh. Sinking, up to the waist. Had to go on all fours to get out.
The rest of the course I was chilling, enjoying the area. I walked a lot, which is dissapointing. I thought my fitness was better but once I hit the terrain its all different. Have to train there more.
11 minutes down, tenth place. However nice to see on my smooth controls good splits. Definitely would be doing around that time on a better day. Lessons learned and all in all one of the most enjoyable orienteerings I've done.
3d Rerun to come.

Note
Moved onto Burela, Galicia for a week. No internet. Weather not as nice as Asturias but yet to get any rain in Spain since I arrived. Big game tonight.
