Orienteering race 1:38:33 [5] **** 11.5 km (8:34 / km) +405m 7:17 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
JWOC Long
Knew I had to watch my compass, and stay in contact with the map the whole time. I was solid in the beginning, doing this and slowing down when I had those 'im not so sure about this' moments. Solid start, going well up until 5 when the rain started coming in hard. Shit to number 8, lost about 2 minutes, lost contact completely stumbled up on some sinkholes and thought i was by the pair too early on, so ran through the middle and found my control , lucky. lost another 2 and a half at 12, tried to go straight, then chickened out cos of green, went right, and just zig zagged around like a toss until i found the control. good through till 16, stuffed up there and 18 also, lost another 2 min. lost another 3 mins at 22, just wanted to finish.
Decent long compared to all the other JWOC longs I have run, its just a mental thing, need to go into next years with full confidence.
ended up 80th, 28:30 behind the winner, :'O 6 min off top 60
