Oceania Relay - 3rd Leg
Another pretty terrible run, mainly as my blistered heels were agony on any climbs or contouring, of which there was quite a lot. Thought shoes had been ok on the warm up, bit sore, but by number 2 I was considering ditching them I was in so much pain. Considered leaving them at the spectator but didn't fancy chances in the forest (and rightly so when I got there).
Nav was disrupted mainly by thinking about feet, given simplicity of area I was making stupid errors through not concentrating, then lost a whole heap of time on the second control in the forest where I mentally and physically gave up. Slog back to the finish from there. Days like this and the middle make me think that the number of good runs I have when 'overseas' are minimal and I can't orienteer for toffee, not aided by lack of physical ability.
