Orienteering 47:45 [4] *** 5.9 km (8:06 / km) +190m 6:58 / km
spiked:21/26c shoes: La Sportiva C-Lite
Middle Distance - Tankersley. Race time 46:56 without road crossings.
A fairly steady run, and pretty clean technically. Legs were feeling it after last night, felt a physical effort from a few controls in, but still managed to sneak in ahead of Mr Marsden. Also became clear that the La Sportivas soak up liquid pretty quickly.
Focussing on the positives:
- No more than 30 seconds lost on any control.
- No hesitation in the circle for 24/26 controls (discounting road crossing)
- Good simplification of the more detailed legs.
Things to work on:
- Knowing the control description before hitting the circle
- Improving short to mid-scale route choice
- Using 'easy' sections to look ahead and improve control flow.
Now to pick up some fitness in the weeks leading up to the JK.
