Orienteering race (Oceania Middle Champs) 35:45 [5] **** 5.36 km (6:40 / km)
ahr:181 max:189 spiked:18/22c shoes: VJ Falcons
After feeling shit running yesterday, decided to focus on feeling confident and concentrating on getting a good flow and rhythm orienteering. Worked pretty well, was slow to the first control was quickly got into it. Route choice to 3 lost some time and was losing a little bit of time in the control circles, but nothing major... keeping pretty safe but steady. Caught Dave at 5 and was with for most of the run to the spectator. Nearly made a parallel error going to 7 but corrected quickly enough. Hit the wrong termite mound going to 9, but only lost 15 secs or so. Started to feel pretty good for the rest of the course. No other real mistakes, apart from being a bit hesitant on a few after the spectator leg. Was happy with the run and result... was better than I was expecting.
