Orienteering race (Oceania) 17:54 [5] *** 3.0 km (5:58 / km) +40m 5:36 / km
22c shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 19
Oceania sprint at Unitec Carrington.
Okay run, though was off the pace right from the start.
Lost time from some small hesitations and double checking the map and also from being cautious not to slip and fall. Tied for fastest finish split though!
I could feel myself starting to lose focus a little at the end, so I think I need to read ahead a bit more when I can so that at the end I'll already have some idea of what I'm doing. My goals were to not run faster than I could navigate and also to slow down when entering detail and I think I achieved them to some extent, though these are definitely things I need to practise more. Also really need to work on accelerations and also finding a better balance between running and navigating speed.
Note: Garmin gave up on me (ugh) and lost all the data for my runs this weekend (more ugh), so just putting in the distance/climb that I can remember or that is in the course descriptions.
