Orienteering warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: New VJ Spikes
Warmed up on the model and ran to the start.
Did OK with the contours on the model but not so well finding indistinct trails or reading vegetation.
When I got to the start I realized I was missing my number and my gaiters.

Batona 500 blue day 1.
A short classic?
Wasn't billed as a middle, though Oli ran it like one. I've never felt more outclassed than I felt today. Even at WOC.
Had about 6 minutes of errors but it didn't seem like much at the time. I guess the good thing is I didn't let them get me down.
Felt like I was moving OK. Missed to the left generally.

Not at all what I expected. Harder and thicker.
Lost about 1:45 on 5 as I hit 6 and 7 before finding 5.
The rest was decent.
