Running warm up/down (Road/Trail) 10:00 [1] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
(injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
Warm up from Event Center to Start Area.
Stretching warm up/down 5:00 [1]
(injured)
Orienteering race (A-Meet Classic) 2:42:31 [4] **** 9.8 km (16:35 / km) +360m 14:01 / km
spiked:17/20c (injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
OCIN Flying Pig X - East Fork State Park, Batavia, Ohio.
Sunny, warm condition.
M21+ Blue - Legs are tired even before the start. Mentally also not very sharp, leading to a terrible run. Had a HUGE mistake going to #9. Lesson learned: never rely too much on wire fences as your linear feature! Overall just very tentative with my navigation, especially on several of the longer legs. When it became apparent I wouldn't be competitive for the day, I decided to get in some practice on my pace counting and direct bearing techniques. I'd say it was a pretty good course for that today as there weren't a whole lot of features on the high plateau that were useful to my navigation.

Orienteering (Controls pick up) 45:00 [2] ***
spiked:6/6c (injured) shoes: Silva O' Spikes (Rubber)
Even though I was exhausted, it's good to go out and get some more practice at my navigation skills. I do fine at a low speed of picking up controls, but the key is to do that efficiently at race pace.
