orienteering race (Flanders Day 4) 47:45 [4] **** 5.5 km (8:41 / km) +18m 8:33 / km
spiked:9/15c shoes: Inov8 X-Talons
Course was 3.9K I ran 5.5K.
Extremely bad run! Was on a technical area of sand dunes in a white and light green forest. I found that it was difficult to tell the difference between some of the light green areas and the white forest in some places.
A lack of concentration on 2 of my controls caused me to make silly, bad mistakes on both.
Most other controls were good though, with good compass bearings and attack points.
Not exactly the ideal end to the 4 days but I have still managed to hold my overall lead, despite finishing second today.

12 PM
running warm up/down (Jog back from finish) 5:45 [1] 0.7 km (8:13 / km)
Legs feel fine, probably due to the lack of climb on any of the courses because Belgium is practically flat!!
6 PM
orienteering (Re-Running a few controls) 1:00:00 [1] 8.0 km (7:30 / km)
Went for a jog with my dad and the dog with my mam walking behind us on the paths. Took our maps and visited some controls in the forest, didn't take a compass though! I jogged some of my dads shorter legs which were near where we were and it was nice to focus on the map without any pressure or speed.
