Running warm up/down 35:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:50 / km)
Long WD with iliana and then eve
Orienteering race 38:15 [4] 5.6 km (6:50 / km) +150m 6:01 / km
NM middle final, 20th.
Looking forward to the terrain after yday, and a bit more confident on being able to focus on orienteering rather than my ankle, after managing to get around unscathed in the qual.
Started out nicely on the first two controls before getting caught out by trying to use the track for easy runnnin to #3. Lost time on going straight, but mostly as I crossed the control reentrant too high and didn't see the flag, so dropped 30+s. Happy with my track route to #4 though, and clean through to 6.
7 was a diagonal downhill leg which I recognised as needing care. Unfortunately it was also very rocky u derfoot and my ankle required concentration and car too! Thought I was on-line, but got caught out by he track midleg extending further than on the map. Ended far too low in a reentrant that looked about eight but felt very wrong. Relocated and hit the control but lost 1.20 :(
Tough leg over the line of the terrain to 8, nailed 9, and happily too the track around to 10 (after not doing so a paying dearly in the same area yday). Unfortunately on 12 I came unravelled again. My mistake was coming a bit offline and not climbing high enough up the hill, which left me in a parallel error, circling in a reentrant system that was hidden under the uncut circle on my map. Grrr. If I'd been coming at the circle from the correct angle I suspect I'd have seem the flag from afar though. Double grrr. Another 1.20 gone.
Nothing special from there to the finish. Lost a surprising amount (40s) on 17 by going a bit around rather than taking a straight line through cliff city.
All in all should be happy after being doubtful about even being able to run. But of course I'm an orienteer, so im equally peeved about my mistakes!
