Orienteering race 1:07:00 [4] 6.5 km (10:18 / km)
shoes: Falcon O-shoe with studs
Disastrous Relay race for me. My team-mates got and kept team in contention and I let it slip away. Started less then minute behind Eric Bone. I caught up with him by #2 and I should have stuck with him regardless anything and lose race physically, not technically. However he seemed to zig-zag too much for my liking and I thought I'd cut corners to save some energy. According to John F. I just run by #3. I think I was searching for #3 for about 10 minutes before I found it (I have not checked splits yet). I told myself - don't get frustrated, just keep rest of the course clean. That did not happen - I overshot #4 and could not locate the flag for some time. Then I decided to go back to #3 and repeat my route and all in sudden found it. Pretty much my mood was spoiled for rest of the course. I was running to finish it. I made another blunder on my second loop when instead of picking #15 I got #19 first and was standing there like an amateur trying to figure out why numbers don't match. Not the way to complete the weekend.
