Note
WOC Middle Distance. My first time running in an individual WOC final. I was super nervous at the start. I chatted with all of the volunteers manning the call-up lines to ease the tension.... :)
My race started really well. I was clean and in control for the beginning 21 controls. I then made a decently big mistake, my oxygen deprived brain made me think I was just above instead of just below the 22nd check point. After I recovered, I finished the race without further disasters.
Ultimately very satisfied with my performance, given my current fitness. I look forward to more races like this one... ones where I am clean and secure in my navigation and where I push to my physical abilities.
