Orienteering race 49:23 [3] *** 8.6 km (5:45 / km) +150m 5:17 / km
shoes: Salomon Fel-Cross 3 July
A nice hit out prior to Aus Champs. The legs actually felt fine today after yesterday's run which is weird. Took this one easy because I just wanted a nice clean run before heading up to Queensland. Kinda regret going so easy! I feel like I would have been close to Macey's time today given a full effort! Congrats to Macey on the W today!
Can't say the area was terribly inspiring. A lot of vague gullies and track running. Good to practice my compass. Annoyed at missing a few gullies by 50m here and there. No real time losses more than 20 seconds (I missed #5, just ran straight past it, felt funny in relation to the two gullies). Did lose a minute on the 2nd long leg to Macey who went straight. I should have trusted my terrain running a bit more!
