Training Log Archive: redrider

SM-lång final, Blekinge. Not my day. Felt tired right from the beginning and didn't have the power to push on the climbs or over the brushwoods. Also several bad route choices where I got stuck in areas in which you couldn't possibly run. So overall quite a bad run. Felt weak, made several wrong route choices and even poorer executions and then on top of it two big mistakes on controls 7 and 8. On both of them I came spot on to the right place but didn't see the flag and lacked confidence and ended up running up and down the hillside. Very near quitting after control 8 but decided to continue until the arena passage and then fought through also the last loop. Good training both mentally and physically. I really had to fought against negative thoughts for a long time and still finished quite strong. Did I mention the huge blister in the sole of the foot that I got already in the qualification? It hurt all the way!

SM-lång kval, Blekinge. Such a strange feeling to be competing in orienteering again! Terrain surprised me and I got stuck once in an impassable green area losing a lot of time. Also one bigger mistake in a circle in a hillside but otherwise technically fairly good but a bit defensive and slow running. Had hoped for better but made it to the final with a clear margin. Slightly horrified about tomorrow...
