First 16 controls in housing scheme, didn't always take the best routes but found the flow from the training over the past two days. Flow broken a bit when started to catch those in front but remained more focused and in control than previously. Little errors crept in 10 and 12. Caught girl in front at 16 and think that influenced me to take the rough rather than path option (I never actually managed to pass in the end!). Looked far to much for the best running rather than committing. I lost at least 15secs on this leg, some through route and some through execution. Lacked confidence over the next few legs but thankfully no more places. I can do this so need to be more confident in my ability and try to remain confident when catching others. Finished 13th which was reasonably good in this field but through away a few places when the course changed from tarmac to rough! Enjoyed it and first part encouraging.
Running warm up/down 31:37 [3] 4.62 km (6:51 / km)

Denny, race 2 - inc. drills.
Orienteering race 16:17 [5] 3.6 km (4:31 / km)
shoes: Saucony Kinvara TR2
Bad start, first time for a while (+40secs). My usual process didn't work when there was nothing big and obvious i.e. a building. I let the "I'm not good at the rough stuff" take over before I even started. If doing it again I'd go really safe, which is what I did for 2 and was ok. Hadn't really had a chance to plan the long leg but decided to go for the underpass and take it from there. Not sure I got the best route as did a bit of scrambling through brambles. 5 came up a bit quicker than expected so didn't commit. Fine through the control pick bit which played to my strengths. Had spotted all but one of the traps to 12 so briefly ran in the wrong direction (10secs). Not sure about route on 13. Never found the flow I had this morning so always felt I was playing catch up and therefore took poor routes. Finished 16th. Still need to find a way of being comfortable making these long route choice decisions. The positives are that I reset and managed to orienteering properly to 2 after blowing it on 1 (despite my mistake being filmed by GG...).
