Running warm up/down 11:00 [2]
Up up and more up to the start for the WOC Tour open race, chatting with Thomas (Canadian) on the way up. They had run out of the Open A1 course map (longest) so we all had a bit more chill time up top.
Orienteering race 1:06:43 [4] 6.2 km (10:46 / km)
17c
WOC Tour Day 2 - Long - A1 course
Went lots better than yesterday. A silly 3 min error on #1, but not other big mistakes. Was fun to compare splits to Eddie and Nikolay afterwards, they pretty steadily gained throughout. More and more comfortable through out the race with marshes and cliffs and all the details.
Most psyched about the long legs going well today, planned and executed well!
Notes:
1- So what happened here, is I thought I found the yellow marsh that I wanted to turn up at and went up looking for my reentrant. But I hadn't gone far enough. I was very puzzled, and didn't put thing together particularly quickly. Went back to the marsh to relocate and realized what was up.
2- Prob faster to run around the hill than up through the saddle.
5- Went to the low side of the hill, missed the thin yellow which would have been a faster approach.
7- Prob should have gone straighter.
8- Happy long leg! Eddie had caught me at 7, I thought he would just run away quickly, so thought up my route and started off. Was still near him in a big open marsh though, so decided to try to keep up! But then he turned a different way than my plan a bit later, so I stayed with my plan. We ended up at 9 about at the same time, so pretty good!
9- Ooh, this was a bit of a mistake actually. A bit off on my bearing and was relying on that too much.
12- Slowed *way* down, in a super tricky bit. Nikolay was about a minute faster on a 2.5 min control, jeez! But I'm not sure I could have gone much faster and remained in contact with the map...
13- In the zone of my big mistake yesterday, nervous! But went ok this time!
Takeaway: Pretty good stuff, could have been more focused at the beginning. And running on just a compass bearing is silly here, the features are really helpful and should be used!
