Orienteering race 17:00 [5] 2.6 km (6:32 / km) +135m 5:11 / km
shoes: inov8 X-talon 190s (red)
Sprint qual - started off ok, lost a few seconds around 5-7 not being totally on to it. Emma Klingenberg only caught me up by control 9-10 though so that was ok. Tried to stick with her, but she pulled away a bit.
Then came the part where I tried to throw it all away by running straight past the spectator control, much to the horror/amusement of the many onlookers. Threw away a good 30-40 seconds right there! But luckily I had done well enough otherwise to still qualify.
The lesson from that was to plan ahead more and try not to be put off by people milling around everywhere... I felt a vague sense of unease that I hadn't planned enough at that point, and I should have heeded that warning sign earlier!
Overall, a tricky and exciting course in a very cool area!
