Event: Devil's Burden Relays
Event: Edinburgh Big Weekend
Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.2 km (8:20 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Inov-8 F-Lite 230
A wee warm up before the race.
Orienteering race 46:41 **** 9.06 km (5:09 / km) +178m 4:42 / km
ahr:163 max:174 slept:7.0 shoes: Inov-8 F-Lite 230
City of Edinburgh race: medium (old man's course), 4.4km (optimum route reckoned to be 8km). 11th/100.
Quite disappointed with this. I was running well and felt good, but was terribly scrappy, getting caught by every single one of the (many) deliberately devious controls, all of which could have been predicted had I actually bothered to read the control descriptions. I also made two poor route choice decisions that cost me a couple of minutes, ran past obvious turn-offs (and past my control three times!) - VERY scrappy. I can easily count up 4-5 minutes thrown carelessly away. On the positive side, I did feel strong and reasonably swift. If only I could navigate.
