Note
My knee now appears to be fine (despite twatting it on a rock leaving #1 today). After a piss-poor February it's time to buckle down to some work and good training over the next 3 weeks (BUCS) before taking it easy in the week before the Skyline, before pushing on towards the JK and the British, which is my big aim O-wise.
10 AM
Warm up/down 12:25 [3] 2.43 km (5:07 / km) +4m 5:04 / km
ahr:160 max:196 slept:9.0 shoes: Muclaw 333 (3)
Trying to shake the body out after the hall floor.
Orienteering race 1:32:40 [3] ***** 9.4 km (9:51 / km) +310m 8:28 / km
ahr:164 max:178 spiked:13/29c shoes: Muclaw 333 (3)
Torver Back Common Black
Ran: 11.48km, 8.04min/km; 381m (!?)
Hmm. Lets start with the mistakes. This could take some time:
2 - somehow ended up in the plantation to the north - poor bearing out of control to x-ing point. 2mins
4 - chuffed up the AP (bigopen marsh) and leaving it (that is, if I ever hit it...). 2mins.
By now I'd been caught 5mins by Lard so tried to pull away in the open. Then this happened:
7 - Got mid-way OK (big lake, easy) but had no plan and failed to even take a bearing. 8minutes of wandering, swearing and debating jibbing it in ensued.
17 - really slow to the turn-over.
19 - too low, again missed the same open marsh as for #4. 2mins.
20,21,22 - just really slow and unsure through here. My heart just wasn't in it...
25 - thrown by the wood, poor direction from AP (calling it a bearing would be very courteous)
And now a few things to cheer me up:
After my big hash on 7 I was fairly clean through 9-15. At 11 I was caught by Spongey and, despite taking a different (higher) line I reached 13 at the same time.
Maybe there's hope for me in the lakes yet?!
In a massive boo when I finished. Feeling better now but must. do. better. at getting into O mode.
