Orienteering race 1:54:38 [4] 6.2 km (18:29 / km) +180m 16:09 / km

Overall the race was fine. I felt okay physically and the second half of the race was solid. However, the first half is another story.
Start to 1 was abysmal. It took me 22 minutes to find it. I was too quick to start moving and jumped off the trail too early, ultimately ending up 6 contours below where I wanted to be. I got caught in what you could call a parallel error, but probably not. There were 3 different spurs and I thought there were only 2, so I ended up wandering around, being extremely confused as to why nothing was lining up. Eventually, I finally realized what I should have realized right away and went up to the spur my control was on.

1 to 2 wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. I was moving really slowly because I was afraid of blowing 2 as well, but I still can't tell you how I got there. However, I ended up at it even though I was a little high.

2 to 3 was also bad. I was too high and I was unsure of where exactly I was so I was moving really slowly.

3 to 4 was good.

4 to 5 I was right on, but I let myself be pulled off to a southern hilltop by someone even though I was in the circle.

5 to 6 and 6 to 7 were good.

7 to 8 was good, but I almost messed up by stopping at the hilltop before it. I also lost 10-15 seconds trying to free my leg because I stepped wrong and got it caught between 2 rocks and a log.

8 to 9 was okay. I was right on, but I was way too hesitant in getting there.

9 to 10 was good.

10 to 11 was good except for when I almost got pulled down into a reentrant which I didn't want to take.

11 to 12 was fine and I managed to not mess up the finish.
