Orienteering race 1:05:53 [4] 11.0 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon
JK Long - Cold Ash - 10.29Km
Not so lucky with the calf this time. Sore all the way round and definitely affecting the speed I was running, particularly in terrain or up more significant hills.
Again felt pretty awful due to heat / jetlag, but not as bad as yesterday. So again just went round steadily and made no attempt to actually race. Pretty easy course, particularly at that speed. Lost a few seconds at 17 standing just above the control and not seeing it behind a tree about 5m away. Lost 5s at 24, a bit too far right. Then about 20s at 27 which was just laziness - couldn't force myself to go up the hill into the control when I needed to.
Calf sore again afterwards.
Frustrating not to be able to race properly. Was surprised by the result, but obviously fitness is not too bad at the moment.
