Orienteering (British Long) 1:23:36 [3] *** 14.0 km (5:58 / km) +400m 5:14 / km
22c shoes: Jalas O Shoes
Not great not bad but overall dissapointed as i could have got a medal this year :(
Started of and lost contact with my map on the way to one got to the road and had to completely start my race again as i was not in the zone at all. (+ 1 Min 30 Secs).
Then I was in the zone and was doing okay considering i am unfit and not suited for longs anymore, made a small error on 6 (+30 Secs). And another small error on 7 (20 Secs). And another on 8 (+1 Min).
After that terrible bit of orienteering i decided to use 8 as if i was at the start of a race and yet again start a fresh.
Then ran very well up untill the butterfly were i kept making tiny errors totalling up to around (+1 Min).
As i left the Butterfly loop to 19 i took a bad route choice and fell down a crag and lost (+1 Min) and then finished strong.
To be honest i did better than i expected myself to do but was still scrappy with my silly little errors every now and then i should have been a time of around 78 mins meaning i would have had third with ease. If i was a fit as i was a year ago then i could of done around 72 mins.
