Event: NOL 2017 Round 1, race 1 - Middle Distance Pittwater / NOL 2017
 

Middle Distance at Pittwater.
Okay run, parts were good, others not good.
Shortened/rushed warm up meant I wasn't focused properly at the start and made #1 a complete mess. I stupidly tried to do something too complicated and just got lost straight away, when I could've taken a much safer route and saved almost 5 mins. #2 was alright, then the first part of #3 was fine before I stopped thinking and overran it then had to go back, probably losing around 1:30. On the way to #4 I realised that the map scale was 1:7500 and then things started to improve. Took the safe track routes to #8, #9 and #10 because I knew I would be more confident and therefore running faster than trying to pick my way through. The last loop was okay, but I could definitely notice that I was getting tired and more easily distracted.
I think that lack of sleep is probably accountable for a fair portion of these errors/time loss and the past week hasn't really been an ideal lead up to races sleep wise.
So much fun though, really enjoyed running in the cool weather and terrain!!
