Orienteering race 1:17:20 [4] 7.56 km (10:14 / km) +204m 9:01 / km
ahr:132 max:148
NAOC Long championships, in Sagehen, same map as Aug'21 but start and finish were right where the dropoff was then (we had to walk over 1km west in Aug'21).
I had a very late start, 11:46, by which time it was 28 to 30 degrees and sunny. Around 10am it was 25 and overcast, would have made a good difference for my running ability. As it was now I really struggled, walked pretty much every uphill and even on flat long runs had to stop every 100-200 meters. Clearly not in shape and the altitude also affects me greatly, but at least I did better running than Wednesday at Morgan Territory.
Only major navigational screw-up was #1, 6 minutes. I veered too low/right (have noticed I am consistently trending right this week, hmmm), knew I was in the right area and ran from boulder to boulder but just didn't see it. Then went further to relocate and found a large boulder with a control, close to the road, and felt sure I knew where I was. But clearly still too low. Very frustrating, I need to work on my compass handling.
Slight error on #6, slightly to the left but quickly relocated using a large boulder, 1 minute.
No real route choices on the course, a shame. Long courses must have good route choices, in my view.
Came in 14th in M60, very poor. But compared to Aug'21, on a course of equal length and a little less climb, I finished in the same amount of time and came 4th in M55! Go figure.
