Orienteering race 1:15:18 [3] 8.6 mi (8:45 / mi)
Set off in a thunderstorm, to meet James heading back having decided not to start. Arrived tight for 13.47 start, which turned out to be 13:43. Rushed through boxes, rushed after everyone off start to find ... short leg back behind. -30sec. Flapping
Lots of small misses, never 100% sure, 2mins at 5 drifting left and faffing, 2 mins at 7 drifting right and hesitant. Scrappy and not loving it, then overheating and dehydrating and faffing to get out of cag and otop, lost track before vague slope and went into dont-care wander about mode, losing 10 mins, then 1 and 1.5 on simple legs, and v.slow on the trivial path run at the end (splits in 30s and 40s), comedy 30% slower than best on run in despite trying!
Plenty to learn from today...
Hyperthermia is a real issue in cold and wet. Need to not be put off by rain / no cag/hat nogo rules. Get to start on time, tie shoelaces, watch other starters, dont overdress.
