Orienteering - race 1:16:05 [3] 6.3 mi (12:05 / mi)
Jukola leg 4
Interlopers. Ray did well in his first night o for 13 years, then Max had a solid run with a silly mistake, Colin had a fun time in the forest with Laura Goy for company. I headed out in daylight. Dropped time at 1, 2, 3, before doing better to 4,5 and 6. Then stuffed 7. Grr. Probably 5/6 mins of mistakes already. Nailed 8 by going slowly, and was lost at 9 and was heading out to relocate when I bumped into it. Nice! 11 I was pleased with, and 12 I forced myself to stop and think which helped. Twisted my ankle on way to 14 pretty badly but was able to run on after a bit. Stuffed the second last one badly, biggest mistake here. Was distracted by Chloe Potter, and dropped 2 mins at least, She dropped even more though.
Got to bed but my Achilles was hurting so much, and it felt like plantar fasciitis too, that I couldn't sleep so got up. Hmm. Lairig Ghru or not Lairig Ghru??? I really don't want to get injured now. Too many fun plans.
Great fun weekend with friends. Good to see interlopers Venla and Jukola teams running well. Amazing atmosphere, Personally I need agility and adrenaline if I want to do better.
