Orienteering - Urban race (China Sprint #3) 20:24 [5] 4.56 km (4:28 / km)
ahr:147 max:166 (injured) shoes: Pegasus 36 (Blue)
7th! Best run of the competition so far. Really enjoyed.
Overlap with day 1 area where I'd done terribly, but now used the terrain was keen to improve. Nice long leg to start, and took the easy route choice. Then clean and happy all the way to 10, even the bit that felt very much like running through someone's house.
First miss on 11, one alley too early and dead-ended. Frustrating since pretty perfect until then. But then good through the spectator and to 16. Then second mistake, over-simplified and ended up in cultivated land. Could actually have crossed this and climbed a couple of walls, but wasn't confident enough in position and instead retraced my steps. Should have planned route out of control better - still a complex area so needed more thought than the vague plan I had.
Safe route to 18 which was slower, but happy with choice. Then fine to the end.
Really pleased to have done this well vs the Chinese on terrain they're really good at! Only 2 mins down on them and Erik, and these are world class guys. So very happy with performance today. Think maybe 4th with no mistakes, so running pretty well too.
