Pretty disastrous. I should've definitely done quite a bit better although I had a few things working against me:
1) My foot keeps blistering
2) Made a bunch of stuuuuupid mistakes
3) Elite orienteers are really damn good

I'm gonna blame my socks for the foot thing. I used Vaseline everywhere to hopefully counter act any blisters but one popped up on my toe at the end anyway. I also need to tie my shoes tighter.

One huge technical mistakes and a huge lack of confidence on some points (especially when running downhill). Also I just SUCK at running through green / rough terrain, need to practice that a lot more.

Did not expect to be losing 20-30% to the leaders EVEN when I am completely clean, but it definitely makes sense since they are really good.

However I got to see that the top level isn't completely unachievable, a good race and I could've dropped to sub 50 min which is still ~13 minutes behind the winners, but I got a lot of time to improve my confidence and strength in the forest.
