Orienteering 1:22:56 [4] **** 9.12 km (9:06 / km) +260m 7:58 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 330
Nomads Training at Nganga, broad features into detailed terrain.
New weather term: FHOT. Pretty obvious what the f stands for.
Definirtely warm after the warm up exercise. Getting use to the new shoes meant quite a few small ankle rolls, nothing serious. They feel a bit softer under foot, which should be nicer on the long courses.
Applied the training concepts for the first half well, running with a broad view to the attack point and then purposely slowed right down from there. Exaggerated the two elements a bit to make sure I was practicing the skills. Next time the pace will need to be higher throughout. Hopefully we'll start earlier, as per Craig's suggestion.
Nice to blow the cobwebs out on a training run rather than in competition.
