Orienteering race 15:06 [5] 4.0 km (3:47 / km)
NOC sprint. Wasn't expecting to run this race, but got a last minute call up to replace a poorly GG. Thanks to his good WR position that gave me last start along with Wingstedt and Kratov, who are not known for being slouches when it comes to sprint. Really enjoyed the race, which is the first sprint international I have run for some time - it was a good, challenging course with plenty of variety - some forest, housing estates, parkland, etc.
I pushed hard and felt like I managed to keep a pretty high tempo despite feeling pretty tired, especially on the one big hill climb. Finished 21st, some way off the pace, but not so far off qualification - quite a positive experience really, and good to see where I'm at in this kind of race. Bit of a disappointing end to the week for the British lads though.
Running 40:00 [2] 6.0 km (6:40 / km)
Really good warm up to get my legs moving, and a few laps of the track after with Helen and Jo.
