Orienteering race 29:26 [4] 4.5 km (6:32 / km)
COC Middle Distance - M35
A technical middle distance race with a ton of controls in terrain with negative contours and low visibility? Yes please!
This was easily my favorite day and best run of the whole week, if not the entire year. I hesitated a bit on 1, but still hit it well, and then just got into a good rhythm with both speed and navigation. It was that elusive 'flow' feeling, where you are focusing on the navigation and not worrying about the running because the running just takes care of itself.
This race really brought back memories of being in shape and feeling strong and confident. I wonder if that will ever come back...
I finished with a big smile on my face and knew that it had been a good performance. Seven split wins, no split placing worse than 8th, less than 2 minutes outside superman's time.
Obviously, this is all a long way away from being competitive in M21, but a glimmer of hope was provided here. Of course, this was way too much for my back, and I went into injured mode almost immediately after this race...
