Note
Relay today whoo! Will update the past two weeks tomorrow...
Running warm up/down 20:00 [3]
Running 3rd leg is an interesting mix of cheering and watching and trying to get fully prepped yourself!
Orienteering 47:48 [4] 6.0 km (7:58 / km)
Relay!
Distance may be a bit off I forgot to start my watch at the beginning.
I really like the relays and the pressure as I think it makes me push harder, I am pretty happy with this race - mistake at #3 though just the bearing downhill and I knew I had to go slower or I would mess it up but got off my line to the right and tried to stay calm and relocate quickly but the vegetation was hard to read came back out and the track led me in. Found the wrong control at 5 and at 8 but relocated quickly, unfortunately at 8 NZL 2 passed me after me passing her at 5 but made for a good push until the end where an obvious track led me to the Fin 5 go control instead of ours... they then had tape up by the forest which I didn't know if I got cross but the Romanian girl did and was just in front which made for an angry finish chute sprint which I won! Another relay experience in the books and then a very fun coaches race spectating followed.
