orienteering - General 1:13:48 [3] 8.9 km (8:18 / km)
No school so I decided I would run the m20/course 9 from nationals. Legs were sore and lacked some intensity while running, a few times on the longer legs I would remind myself to pick up the intensity, but it would slowly diminish again. Also with no flags, it did force me to unfold my map to check control descriptions and to slow down going into the control (and occasionally double check the location). My goals had been to check control descriptions, pay attention to the actual feature the control is on, and pick a feature to help me exit the control so that worked well with no flags. That being said I did lose focus a few times, but then it is hard to remain focused when running a long course in a non-competitive atmosphere.
