Orienteering warm up/down 8:00 [2] *** 1.0 km (8:00 / km)
spiked:2/4c
Did warm up controls down the hillside. Ran them quite quickly but didn't want to get my legs torn so I skirted alot of the nasty stuff. This kinda pushed me off line a bit.

EYOC Long Distance Race
Went off strongly at the start, but had a little parallel error at no.2, was one reentrant over (30secs). Then I was clean 3 - 8 if not pushing the running as hard as I could. At no.9 I hit the path and didn't know which way to turn, so turned the wrong way (30 secs). Took wrong route choice to 10, Ralph caned me taking the path all the way out to the right. Like a minute quicker. No. 13 I came too far and hit the path (20s).Then I was a little hesitant into the first few controls of the loop, not knowing what to expect. Probs lost 20s on 15 and 40 on 16. Next few were clean if not fast. Really started to push it out of the loop, hit 22 and 23 fine and then it all went to pot. Lost concentration and thought I was at 24 so started navigating to 25, got most of the way there and then had to turn back for 24, then I hit the wrong number 24, and then found the right one (3mins). Lost discipling and started running too fast then, made a really stupid parallel error punching the wrong number 15. (It was a different reentrant with code 52 when i was looking for 53). Then It was a runfest to the finish. So bad being told I'd mispunched. Wouldn't have made the first relay team anyway and that was probably worse. Not the best Start for my first international but theres alot to learn from.
Running warm up/down 5:00 [1] 0.8 km (6:15 / km)
Tiny warm down. Didn't really want to do much running so I just did a bit and then stretched.
