 | Orienteering race (WOC Long Qualifier) 1:03:17 [3] | |

| fark me. what a bad race, right from the start i was making mistakes! i punched a wrong control for the first one, but realised and spent a few minutes trying to work out where i was... then it felt like every seconds control i was missing. there was a lot of running on trails and in grass then into the forest for a control, and back out onto trails again. i dont think i really switched back on each time i came into the details, so i made lots of small mistakes. most of the race i was doubting i would qualify but as i was coming into the final section i started thinking i might as i was looking to run about 60 mins which was the expected winning time (i new it would be faster than that though) and i saw some other guys in the other heats that were on about the same time, so i thought maybe i would sneak in. but i missed the 2nd last and last controls... then i ran into the finish with the guy who started with me and the commentators were saying he was coming into 10th place. but damn, my heat was faster so i missed out, only 4 seconds behind 15th place, less than 9mins down. oh well, i dont think i deserved to get into the final, and now i can get pumped for the relay.
first time i've missed a final at woc... |

| easy run with brett, annika, JLA and Reubster from our hotel onto some dirty island where people take their hookers. best bit was running past an open air gym with filthy ukrainians doing weights in their speedos. ran 4 x 30second ints with a 2min jog recovery near the end. finished off at the subway station and crammed into a train and dripped sweat on some old man to get back to the hotel. |
