Orienteering race (blue) 2:10:49 [4] 13.8 km (9:29 / km) +475m 8:05 / km
shoes: O: Falcons 2008
My shoes were sliding yesterday so I wore my tighter shoes today. It worked better, of course it also wasn't raining today so my shoes were not wet.
Once again, I have no high expectation. I would like to break two hours but just want to finish without cramping.
I start off slow. The first three controls are short legs and the fourth one with good handrails. This is nice in allowing me to get use to the 1:15,000 map. I feel good early and am moving well (for me). My first big mistake is at number 9. I just flaked out on the final approach and then got confused. after floundering awhile, I got back and redo my final approach, this time paying attention and get to the control. From there I just got tired and slower.
I did finish without cramping so I met one goal.
