Orienteering race 14:21 [5] *** 3.4 km (4:13 / km)
ahr:183 max:194 spiked:20/22c shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D
State league races run: 5. Finished 2. Happy 1. Not today.
Frustrating, good run spoilt by missing a control on a direct line which I ran within 10m of, going from 9 to 11. Went back out and reran those legs, would have added less than 10s to my time, leaving me around 30s down on Oscar.
Slightly hesitant to 1, trying to get head into non issom map, fine through the fields but poor direction to 6 (10s). Pretty good back through the buildings (control skipping aside) but might have taken better micro routes on long leg to 11.
Poor route to 14 (8s, not planning ahead) but pretty easy from there on in. Was feeling slightly more sprightly than recent days but lack of speed work showing.

Reran a few legs as a warm down, 1, 14 then the 9-10-11 where I missed 10.
