Middle Distance Race simulation in preparation for the trials. As I expected this was my favourite training all though not necessarily my best orienteering. No mistakes over two minutes. Here is a snippet from the middle of the course that I think does a good job of illustrating the sort of race I had.
More careful compass work and consistent AP's are needed. I think I will do all of these things automaticaly so long as I keep "having good flow" as my primary goal going into the race. I think that is the strongest and most effective approach I have found so far, encompassing all of the necessary techniques under one mental image.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 3.2 km (4:41 / km) +165m 3:44 / km
shoes: Asics Gel-1150
Orienteering (Relay) 50:00 [3] **** 6.0 km (8:20 / km) +300m 6:40 / km
Felt ok for the first two loops and ran these fairly fast. Control Descriptions or flags would have been useful as spotting the pink ribbon without knowing for sure what it was actualy hanging on was problematic. Getting to the control circle itself went well. The last loop I was very tired and knew I had run out of steam.
