Event: 2011 OUSA Convention
running warm up/down 13:00 [3] 1.44 mi (9:00 / mi)
orienteering 2:14:05 [3] 8.5 km (15:46 / km) +150m 14:30 / km
Beat Mike up until number 5. I don't think you can really count anything that happened after 2 controls weren't there. I win.
Actually... After looking at my course I was kind of disappointed I lost my focus after the 2 controls were missing. Part of it was fatigue and dehydration, but I was definitely unfocused and wishy-washy about my not-so-great-in-the-first-place plan to 8. On 9 I felt like I didn't hold myself accountable because part of me still wasn't confident there would be a control there.
In the future, I would regroup by visualizing an early leg that went well, or else a training I did without controls. I know I should have been going slow on 9 and not moving on until I saw the feature I was looking for. I think what happened was I was just too tired/dehydrated/distracted to continue on the course without making a conscious effort to remind myself of habits that usually take care of themselves.
