Legs not too bad.

I was first out in the forest so had it to myself for the first 20 minutes. I always had a good plan and in contact with the map.
Only 2 errors to note. I didn't know that I went over the large stream so when I saw a control just off my line, I didn't bother to look at it.
The other was later on with a large area to run through of nothingness before hitting the area of the control. I don't think there would have been a decent AP looking at the map but I only lost 30 seconds.
5th place but well schooled by one of the locals.

Probably the best middle race that I have put together in my favourite forest to orienteer in.
There is not always good visibility but more than runnable. I took notice of what the planner said over the speakers that you need to know when to change speed in the different types of terrain.
I had a few small hesitations but was hitting everything until #12 and 13. I got pulled off to another control that I should have know better and lost 30 seconds on each of these.
The rest of the race went well and I had good energy even on the steeper slopes. I won the M45, beat the M35's and was only 20 seconds down on Jesper Damgaard on the M40.

Event: Danish Spring
 

Drills.

Around The Lookout.

I wasn’t having a great session as feeling low on energy along with slow times.

4 reps up from Effingham on Beech Ave. Solid session.
