Orienteering race 48:18 [4] ** 8.1 km (5:58 / km)
16c shoes: Adidas adistar ride
Summer series at Unitec. It was stormy before I started, but surprisingly ok once I was running :) The course wasn't the best today... too many legs where I just ran on the road at the side of the map, not enough short and intricate legs in the buildings and one control description which wasn't the best (getting quite picky there!). But I don't want to complain, it's great that we have lots of people setting courses! On the positive side, there were some good long route choice legs.
I wasn't feeling great today, just rather slow and tired, though I did run up the short and steep hills despite thinking I would like to walk up them. I was suprised that the time wasn't slower, but you never can tell with these course distances how long they actually are. So although I struggled a bit today, I'm not feeling too bad about it because I feel like it was good training for me :) Navigation was fine but it probably was pretty shocking how little I actually looked at the map...
Very glad I didn't cycle today though! On the way home it was extremely windy on Tamaki Drive, so much that I could feel the car being pushed by the wind, and waves were coming over the stone wall :/
