Orienteering race 50:05 [4] 4.2 km (11:55 / km) +155m 10:04 / km
had an excellent run today. i made it slowly to #1 to build up my confidence as well as the control being extremely vague in all of that green. i also managed to catch Rebecca Freese on this control who started 2min ahead of me. on my way to #2 the green and bush kinda pushed me to the wrong side of the spur. i realised before Rebecca did and so i made it to 2 before her and that kept me ahead of her for the rest of the course. on my way to #4 Lillian Burrill caught me and overtook me. i made sure she was always in my sights and i wouldnt let Rebecca get ahead of me, so they spurred me on.
From there on, i had no troubles with any of my coutrols as i decided from#1 that i was going to trust myself. yesterday i hadnt and so ran past it but each time i was right i had just doubted myself. so today i decided to completely trust myself and this paid off. but it all comes from experience and confidence i guess.. having Roch tell me that i did well and that i'm fit also boosted my confidence..
