Orienteering race 37:20 [4] *** 5.4 mi (6:55 / mi) +220m 6:08 / mi
spiked:15/17c
Middle distance course. Lost about three minutes on mistakes. One was at the infamous Pig House! To 3 should go straight instead of right variant. Didn't want to risk? #4 I passed probably 5 meters above but didn's see the flag as was focused on the bottom of re-entrant. Should have read clue sheet more carefully beforehand. Bounced back and read the clue sheet when saw a building in the clearing. Lots of trail crossings :) Couldn't push much speed wise as everything was so slippery. At places had to use my hands to climb uphills as clits would not hold. One step forward, two steps sliding back :) Canadians are hard to beat! Relevant training in group helps a lot. I wonder if East coast runners can form similar training groups.
Reminding myself to do more of hill intervals as most of my speed training is on flat!
