Orienteering race (Christmas 5 days) 16:49 [5] *** 3.17 km (5:18 / km) +16m 5:10 / km
23c shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 19 #2
Day 1 - Chevalier College
Reasonable run after I switched on though wasn't super on the ball today.
Should've gone around the outside in stead of through the middle to #1 to avoid the unnecessary corners etc. Almost did a 180 going to #5 (15s) and didn't read my map properly going to #6 so I was at the control next to it (10s). Told myself that I needed to get my act together for the rest of it and started thinking a bit better. Didn't want to push too hard on the oval legs as there was still a lot to go so made use of the opportunity to read ahead at the next few controls. Overran #19 and had to go back (10s) and then went through the wrong gap in the building to #21 (10s).
Breathing wasn't great but was so nice to run in the cooler and a lot less humid weather!
