orienteering - General race 56:31 [5]
I started the race poorly getting to the start just as the race started because I misplaced my compass in the car (which ended up being in my map case). I started off a bit confused because unlike everyone else who had started knowing where they were I didn't and they didn't have north lines on the map but a grid. When I got to the first control in the box the box wasn't working so I thought my SI might not be working or I had cleared and checked so I ran back to the parking/finish area, where I cleared and checked, did a few stretches, and headed back to the control, and ended up just punching my map. Other then that the race went pretty well other then a few mistakes and thinking I was on one leg when really I was on another, and as the race on I got more and more into it. My goal had been to run hard and push myself which I felt I accomplished towards the end when I started to really get into my groove. However I did realize that at times I need to calm down a bit and make sure I take a bearing and have a good route before I leave the control. I would still like to push my speed a bit more though.
running warm up/down 12:00 [1]
Was intending to warm-up a bit more since my legs and knees were sore from the previous race but it was cold so I didn't
orienteering - General race 33:51 [4]
Was an urban night race, with a small forested section. The race went fairly good other a small mistake at six where I didn't see the small paved path (probably do to the glare off the map case from my light), and was looking a bit to the right of it. Other then that it went pretty well, my knees were sore so I didn't run as hard as I liked. Someone should also fix the handicaps, Noah's entire course was the distance I just had to run in my box.
