Running warm up/down 25:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Icebugs
15min warm up on the warm up map...very tricky, but seemed to get the hang of it fairly quickly :) ...ran down to the start triangle on the warm up map and the start wasn't there...got so confused and a little stressed out trying to run around finding the start :P
10min warm down...some small jogging, then a small jog with Amber and James after they had finished

Orienteering race 1:22:01 [5] 7.2 km (11:23 / km) +480m 8:33 / km
(injured) shoes: Icebugs
My first time running elites Long Distance at Nationals...super tough and long than what im used too :P
Managed to have a pretty steady start, pretty clean-ish...then the long leg was very hesitant and lost a bit of time here and there...then number 10 and 11 were very poor route choices so lost a little there....then #12 was a biggy :( think i did the same as imogene :S i started running down the sand, then realised the strip will be too shit, so ran back up the sand on a hill for a bit which was so tiring and really stupid of me...then back down the big open sand to the white forest, which i just ran on my compass till i hit the big depression clearing thing...but i went to the wrong one...the big one more to the right, so then i ended up near the track and had to figure it out again and get to the control...grr silly me :P
then after the spectator, I was just super exhausted...hardly running :/ I think I really needed to take a leppin or something to keep me focussed on that last bit...i was just so messy and all over the place...
At 14 I was 6sec behind Greta, then I lost 3 and a 1/2mins on the last loop just from my messyness and slowness :S eek...need practice at this...
overall an ok run apart from a few errors...felt like some of my techniques were really good which was positive to know :) foot a little sore near the end, but nothing to bad..
Got 4th, 5.30min down from Amber...yay she won! :D
