Running 50:00 [1]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (July 11)

Orienteering 13:38 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (July 11)

Tried to sleep as much as possible but woke up with a sore throat. Moped around the rest of the day trying to do as little as possible. Started warming up for the race around 1.5hr before my start but I don't think that was sufficient. Felt quite dopey on the start line.

Tried to keep control to #1 aiming straight for the re-entrant, but it was really hard to see. Hit the trail and spent 10s trying to figure things out before spotting the control. Lost another 10s at least to 2 going into the control, wasn't in control technically at all. Picked things up after that and got some confidence. The rest of the race was fine.

Obviously really wanted to reclaim the gold, but ok with second place.

Orienteering race 13:30 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (Aug 10)

Started off fairly quickly and mistook things to the first and ended up losing probably 15s or more. Quite mad after that and gunned it to 2 and 3. The rest of the course was clean, but got really tired after the spectator control on the last part of the course because I went out too hard.

Fun to have such a close finish with people cheering me in on the last few controls.

WCOC Sprint Course 5 - Splits

Orienteering race 1:36:00 [5]
shoes: Inov 8 X Talon (Aug 10)

Doing great up until 11. Was in the lead up until that point. When I got to that control and was drinking water I noticed Patrick (+2min) was coming in behind me. I think I got a bit excited and I proceeded to run off and lose 4min on 12. Felt very tired on the long leg to 15 and lost time on the last part of the course.

After the race I felt horrible. Similar to how I felt after the team trials long. Super tired, achy, chills. Body in complete shutdown mode. Slept as much as possible.

11 AM

Orienteering race 30:43 [5] 4.6 km (6:41 / km) +210m 5:26 / km
shoes: Inov 8 Oroc (July 11)

Pretty good. Lost time on 3 and 8 losing track of things en-route in the depressions, and getting off line. Hesitant on 9. Otherwise not much time lost in the circle.

Really tough physically after the spectator control, thought that I was losing a lot of time up the hill but I think I lost more loafing it on the downhill into the finish.
