Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 5.5 km (5:27 / km)
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

Orienteering (Middle) 37:09 [3] **** 4.8 km (7:44 / km) +200m 6:24 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

Good race. Must have ran over the start triangle cause I never saw it and had to re-orient on the way to #1. Lost 3rd place to Ross by 7 seconds! Wasn't ready for all the green at the start of the course. Lost at least 1:30 on the first four. Several hesitations taking the controls. Need to have more confidence in myself even if I'm unsure. Several controls I stopped a few meters away from the correct boulder or rock pile, only to travel several meters further and nail the control. Gadget

Orienteering (Sprint) 12:13 [3] *** 2.4 km (5:05 / km)

First top 3 finish of the season! Two more to go before I complete my goal for the year. Should be arrangeable ;-P Gadget

Relaxed jog through Surebridge. Discovered some almost utopic forest deeper into the map! Can't understand why we havent used some of that for training before...

Orienteering long 1:34:17 [3] **** 11.9 km (7:55 / km) +370m 6:51 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

Another very enjoyable race with an unfortunate result. However I am not disappointed as the course analysis is full of many successes and I fulfilled most of my goals. There is a distinct division in this course. I was racing quite well up until control #12 and then things suddenly started to fall apart. Perhaps this a sign I was running at an unsustainably fast pace and hit the wall, all though at the time I felt fine. It is impossible to say how my race would have been different had I not mentally teleported myself to control #13 on punching #12. I didn't realize the severity of my mistake at the time but I was decidedly disconcerted and it undoubtedly disrupted my flow at the time.RouteGadget
