Orienteering race (Long) 1:52:57 [4] **** 5.5 km (20:32 / km)
spiked:12/19c
HK Annual Long Distance Champ
12C, sunny, calm
The competition area is the same as last year's, but since I didn't run in it last year, I don't have that advantage.
All in all, it was a rather forgettable performance on my part, starting out with a huge error. I rushed and read the map carelessly to CP1, wasting a ton of time bashing through green. It took me nearly 40min. to finish 3 controls! After that, things went smoother. I found that my endurance is ok, but my map reading and technique aren't sharp enough. I ended up 38mins behind Siu Tung's winning time, More practice will be needed.
