Orienteering long 3:22:18 [4]
What a day, a really taxing day. A little disappointed I couldn't / didnt finish stronger. I dropped two gels on course so only had one gel plus water issue at the end of the far course resulted in being dehydrated.
Course was great but just a big mistake at 2, my route choice to 4 was poor, more time loss at 6 but at least corrected fairly quickly and same at 8. Given the early losses I was in a bit of a slump as I did 9-11 but I was obviously still tracking physically okay when i saw the leg to 12 I was like if I want to pull out now is the time.
Went the wide left route and didnt hit the track as early as I wanted, made for an easy approach. My navigation from this point on was clean albiet slow. Took a nice safe approach to 14 via the track, walked all of 17 up the hill, from 19 I detoured to get some water as I approached 20 I saw Cameron which gave me a lift to keep pushing, Cameron left for the water after 20, I went at a nice jog pace through the short legs 21-24 then made a stupid route choice decision to 25. Slog back up the hill to 27 then a nice gentle roll back down the hill to the finish.

Orienteering 1:21:00 [5]
Bit of a disappointing day , never really got going maybe 8-15 I had good flow and control but I was so scrappy inside the circle for the rest of the course. I needed to slow down, legs felt great for the 3rd day of racing.
Overall a good weekend.

Orienteering race 2:26:30 [4] 14.2 km (10:19 / km)
Overall another fairly good result.
3 mins mistake at control 2, I think this was predominantly a scale issue. I probably pushed the pace after this mistake but I did well through to 7 with the occasional wobble inside the circle.
Leg 8 I put in a good split here I also stopped for water mid leg. Executed nicely in the end and so happy I stopped to do my own Nav rather than follow Tomas. Still running strong upwards to 9 but the pinch of the fence into the control was a slog. First feeling of fatigue was up the hill to 12. I got into jog routine along the top of the ridge for 13, 14 . Showing time loss for 15 but I think that's more my poor descending skills.
Poor route choice to 22 and 24 which ended up costing me a place. These are just I'm getting tired avoid climb, it wasn't even that severe compared to what we had just done.
Relays are going to be tough.
