Venla - Kangasala
4th leg for RR2 - Kseniia, Iida, Julia, Me 156th
Pretty happy with most of this race besides the 1 massive error I made (+6mins). Felt fairly fit considering this is the longest race I've done in a while. Started to tire after about 30mins but took a gel heading to 9 and this seemed to perk me up for the rest of the race.
Started out well with a nice track route to 1, then a couple of easier controls. Not sure what is with me and controls 4-5 this weekend but I ended up at 5 before 4, then struggled to find 4 when I tried to go back to it. Was a tricky contouring leg and I was blindly following other runners a bit and lost contact of where I was on the slope. Thought I'd spotted the flat area near the control but was too high and ended up at 5.
Controls 9 & 10 only had 4th leg runners which was nice as up till then had just been old ladies wandering everywhere and was quite annoying to pass them all. Got into a bit of a train of last leg runners for the next couple of controls but lost them when I fell over and bashed my shin on a rock.
As I was coming into the final tricky forest control, I saw a line of about 5 faster looking girls so knew they must be on last leg too. So tried to push hard to get in front of them and passed another girl in the final run in too. So managed to catch up all the places I'd lost during my mistake and gain another 13.

Most of this was extremely slow/walking as I was really struggling in the rocky terrain. Right knee and ankle both pretty sore. Navigation-wise was pretty good for the first 4 controls then made a huge mistake to 5, ending up at 9!! Called it a day there and walked back not feeling particularly confident about my terrain running or navigation.

HFW along the Dalkeith railway path to Roslin. Then some exploring on the way back on the route 61 cycle path as I've ridden past the signs many times and always wondered where it went. Was fun going along some quiet streets through parts of Edinburgh I've never ventured into before. Then got less fun when I hit some busy roads by the hospital. Home just in time to watch the WC Sprint Relay...nice.
