7 PM
Road warm up/down 15:00 [2]
slept:8.0 shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 16
Early warm-up for Sprint WRE in Conegliano. Jogged down the street and back with Joshosh. Plus some more random wandering. Just put in time rather than distance as only using watch, not Garmin.
8 PM
Orienteering race 18:07 [5] *** 3.3 km (5:29 / km)
26c shoes: Nike Lunaracer+
Alpe Adria Cup - Sprint
Conegliano Centro
Using map distance, and it's missing climb, and by christ there was climb in the course!
For starters they were using SI AIR, so did a good bit of looking at the spectator control to see how people were punching it. No complaints or issues with my race and the system.
Probably ran this race harder than I intended but reckon I was at 90%. Wasn't sure going to 1 of the left route, but from looking at the map beforehand I reckoned the 1st control would be where it was. Left to 2. Also left to 3, but right could've been quicker.
Slight hesitation before turn to 5, but was struggling to get my head around there being a control to get. The spectator control was easy after all the spectating at it. Tough climb to 10 though. After that it was a map exchange. Went left to 14 but right might have been quicker. Lot of controls in this section. Then the long leg from 20-21. It was horrific. Died the most horrible of deaths on the steps. Then it was all downhill to the finish. Slight hesitation for 25, wasn't sure where the control was going to be.
Then the very fast finish since you didn't have to punch the last control.
Results 18th, happy with that place in a WRE

Got 1068 points for it, and finished ahead of the other Irish. And body in one piece.
