10 AM

Orienteering 31:36 [4] *** 5.2 km (6:05 / km) +140m 5:21 / km
spiked:24/27c

Middle at the Open O-Games (the World Cup public event)

Solid race. Antonio ran 29:5X. Andreu ran 28:XX. William Lind ran 25:56

Not many mistakes. Just running off bearing.

Not too terribly difficult because the trails helped reorient you fairly often.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)

6 PM

Orienteering 43:00 [4] **** 5.4 km (7:58 / km) +220m 6:37 / km
spiked:20/22c

Evening training with Andreu and Antonio.

We did this as a series of 4 mass starts with 1-2 minute breaks in between. The 43 minute is the total is including the breaks.

Mass start
(1) #1-6, ~1km (~4:15) I won.
(2) #6-10, Antonio won.
(3) #10-16, I won.
(4) #16-Finish. Antonio won, but only beat me by a few seconds on the sprint into the finish.

It was interesting to do this exercise. I orienteered well and ran quickly. I was competitive. When I was talking about this with Ben I described the feeling as agressive, but he suggested it was probably more decisive in my process. I agree with that judgement. I saw what Andreu and Antonio were doing but I maintained by own course. Now I need to race like this in high-pressure scenarios.

If anyone reading my AP has any reflections on this, I'd be quite interested to hear them.
