Running (warmup) 30:00 [3] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
Jogging to start, then walking back to the finish and going back to the start.
Forest Orienteering race (Stage 2) 1:01:47 [4] 5.3 km (11:39 / km) +200m 9:48 / km
Today was the second stage of the OO Cup and the map, ______ was probably the most complex terrain that i have ever run on. I was slowed down more by how much I had to read, rather than the footing of the terrain. The fastest guys were sub 40min so I see that there is a very large gap that needs to be closed in my middle distance orienteering skills. Map reading and running at the same time in a very complicated section is probably my greatest weakness other than just running.
The race went fairly well, I made 3 significant mistakes, the first was early on where I didn't make the best plan (you couldn't really make a simple plan) and I had to stop just before my control to regain contact with the map which was about a minute. Then later on I entered inbetween 2 incorrect cliffs as I was attacking a control and I lost about 1min there too hooking around. My last mistake was when I got on an elephant trail, and I misread the map thinking that it was the trail that was part of my plan. That cost me 2-3 min in my opinion.
