orienteering 45:20 [4] *** 5.7 km (7:57 / km) +185m 6:51 / km
ahr:179 spiked:15/16c shoes: O' Shoes
Really, really good race today, with the exception of one control.
I was 100% on all 3 of my goals:
1. Have a picture of my exit direction in my head approaching each control.
2. Trust my compass, and pick trees ahead of me instead of constantly looking down.
3. Read contours and compass to confirm my location on a trail.
The only mistake I made was on number 13, when there was a control on a different shallow reentrant, 40m before mine. I checked the code, saw it wasn't mine, and then hesitated WAY too much before I continued. Afterwards, Sharon explained to me that controls on similar features are now allowed to be closer than they have been in the past.
In the future, I should pay more attention to distance on featureless hillsides. 100m is very different than 140m. Eric told me that when he saw the control in the distance, he had already formed an estimate of how far the next control was and realized right away that something was a little off. I can practice this with armchair and with legs of varying length at Hammond Pond (maybe contour-only, so there's not a better way of telling how far I've gone?).
Overall, I'm very happy with the weekend. I wasn't expecting to have the fitness to challenge the M50's and M55's.
Garmin distance: 6.18 k

All the important ones. Didn't want to do too much bc my legs felt heavy from yesterday.
core/legs 15:03 [2]
shoes: barefoot
My hamstring/back of my knee was a little sore, so I avoided lunges and squats. Otherwise, a pretty balanced mix of stuff.
Armchair: simplification 15 [0]
