Estonian Long selection race
The course was a trial of the 90min winning time for women, in very tough terrain, but I was physically in no state for it.
I had no strength and my body just wouldn’t respond when I tried pushing harder, and along with my blocked ears which became painful after halfway, my concentration wasn't great.
I made 3 mistakes of a few minutes each due to lack of concentration and in the second half was just struggling to finish. The kilometer long run through an epic swamp valley at the end was the last straw, but in hindsight was kind of funny in a laugh/cry way..
Positives? I persevered and also navigated pretty well in the trickier flatter green parts. Also I saw heaps of random trees which had been felled by beavers which was cool, some parts of the forest were full of beautiful purple flowers, and I had an amazing sauna and swim at the end.
