| Selection Race at Hartney. Map. Generally did quite good, aside from a big 13 minute gaffe at #7. I did a lot of bad orienteering there. Was trying to pull away from Darius in the middle of the leg... that probably led, or contributed, to careless navigation, which caused me to be thrown off by what I think were some poorly mapped contours (the spur with the two hills 250 m WSW of the control... it ended with a prominent steep slope, and the map didn't show that). Then it seems that I no longer knew where I was, but I kept on running anyways, missed the control of course, and spenta long time wandering around, unable to relocate. Eventually got lucky and happened to see the control.
#6 was misplaced (and the course was scrubbed as a result). I arrived at the right spot, spent 5 minutes looking around to confirm it wasn't there, then carried on with the rest of the course. |

| Checking out a bit of terrain at a Wildlife Management Area 12 km SE of the jct. of highways 23 and 34, while heading out to Hartney. Nothing of much interest for a new map in the small area I looked at, although the satellite images of other parts look better (should have found out where exactly we were going and looked at the images beforehand). |

| Selection Race at Hartney. Map (two lines across my route indicates a "notable mistake"). Didn't do well, although it wasn't too bad. Made 4 mistakes for a total lost time of around 6 minutes. Perhaps I was lucky to not lose more time... the potential was certainly there with the types of mistakes I made on #6 (drifting off in wrong direction) and #7 (not paying enough attention while running along a road and then not knowing exactly, or even approximately, where I was after I left the road). |

| Around the park. Hmm... another bad day. "Very slow" seemed to be the only speed available (though I only planned on a slow run)... hopefully this doesn't continue. |
Tuesday May 8 |
| Running intervals 10:00 [4] 2.64 km (3:47 / km) | |
| shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (ret.) |
| 2 × 5 min in the park. Ran the ~1215 m trail, plus a bit extra to get 5 min. Times for the ~1215 m section were 4:33 and 4:40. Had been thinking 4:20 would be good, 4:30 bad, and planned on doing 6 × 5 min. However, I had nothing there and only made it through two of them. Was feeling affected by the heat, and was surprised to see that it was only 23°C when I got home. |
