Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

Steady running and Sprints. 15 min before both Sprint and Middle.

Orienteering (Sprint) 15:57 [3] *** 2.2 km (7:15 / km) +130m 5:36 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

A great race! Sprints are such volatile races, I just tried to run fast and clean. I didn't pick all the right route choices, I just lost the least amount of time among all the runners.WinsplitsRouteGadget

Orienteering (Middle) 32:24 [3] **** 4.7 km (6:54 / km) +250m 5:27 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite

Second race of the day. Was worried I would be tired and slow, especially on the hills. As soon as I saw the first leg I knew this course was gonna be good. Started out a bit slow, had lost 50 seconds to Robbie by control #4. As the race progressed I started to gain energy. When I emerged into the arena I heard the Nev-Monster announce I had taken the lead! My legs were born anew. As one of the last starters I knew I had a shot at the Gold. When I picked up the second map I was relieved to see a shortish loop with comfortably technical legs. The splits on this last section speak for themselves.WinsplitsRouteGadget

This race goes down in the records as my new PB. A huge confidence booster in both my technical and physical abilities.
