Running warm up/down 25:00 [2]

Orienteering race (Forssa Games) 35:17 [4] ****

H21A, a tough race, the elite can run really fast!

I ran faster than usual, and held off the runners behind me, until the 4th control (1 min start intervals). I felt like I was still lacking a distinct plan in my orienteering. This was most likely due to the fact that I was running much faster than i could navigate really precisely. I was caught by a train of very fast orienteers before control 6. I tried to stay with them, but even just trying to keep up physically left me more drained than any other orienteering race before.

They elite do run fast, but I also think that the course wasn't all that technical. I believe that I will be able to run that fast one day. I just need a few years.
