Orienteering race 43:02 [5] *** 4.17 km (10:19 / km) +140m 8:50 / km
spiked:14/16c
Short O champs at Thacher State Park near Albany. I warm up well, but I still don't have much punch when I start. I am not moving aggressively enough.
I have a big error at #9. I know it is a tricky area. This alone is a dangerous thought. The expectation of trouble leads to trouble. I navigate carefully when approaching the control, but I rely too much on seeing the white hill. From this side it is rather indistinct. I can't figure which cliff is which. I invent a paralllel error where there is none.
I am glad there is another race tomorrow. Short-o races are unforegiving. It is difficult to make up for a mistake.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [3] 4.0 km (7:30 / km) +20m 7:19 / km
I run to the start instead of taking the bus. I want to be fully warmed up and ready. I need to do this, since I am slow in waking up from the vegetative state of sitting in the car. I need a good 20 minutes of running and some stretching, martial arts and focusing before being warmed up for the race.
