1 PM
Running (off-road) 33:18 3.1 km (10:44 / km) +209m 8:02 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 2016
Jog/walk from the pre start up to the quarantine via the warm up map. I walked most of the road and it was actually chilly enough. Started jogging 20 mins before my start then did lots of up and down the tiny bit of track. Felt really good before putting my watch away and then doing a few dynamics and strides.
3 PM
Orienteering race (1:10000) 38:18 [5] ***** 4.7 km (8:09 / km) +185m 6:49 / km
21c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 2016
EOC MIddle Q - heat A
Started agressively. Deciding to go straight trough the green. Probably wrong call when there was a quick safe option available but I let myself get influenced by Albin Ridfelt who I was starting with. Missed it and had to get back on track.
Good after that then. Took my time on 2 to get it right in the green and then started to push more for 3 (no fastest split like Conor though!). Really good as far as 5 and was having great concentration and good flow. It being foggy felt more like home!
I was brave/foolish on 6 and didn't have a good attackpoint but it worked out ok. Ran hard downhill to 7 and moving well to 8.
It started to go downhill from here, by which I mean uphill! tried to go around for 9 when that wasn't a thing. Oskar Sjoberg flew past me up the hill towards 10 but I hung on grimly. Missed the control though as I looked under the crag and failed to it. Ran away 15m and looked back to see Alan Cherry punching it. Urg.
Really suffered up to 11 and found some unmarked boulders. Wasn't confident enough to know what they were and went up to early, slowly. Found another rock and saw the open and fixed it. Time lost though
12-14 there were people around (male + female) punching controls and I was ok but not super fluid in the circle. Opened the gas to 15, ran past Tove in the forest but was a little confused by the tracks.
This green bit was relatively poor then. Just sloppy. Too short on 16, tired on 17 and then didn't climb enough on 18. Wandered a bit searching for that too. Should have gone around for 19 but went straight.
The last bit was tough physically. A long running leg with a million camera people taking pictures of Ida Bobach as I passed her out.
Time is not great. Some of the course I was good for, some quite poor. Tried to push on in the green and I am happy that I was able to have confidence in myself even though I wasn't as good as I believed. Overall dissapointed.

4 PM
Running (road) warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 2016
Cool down with Colm and Eoin. Colm had loads of energy though and did an extra massive hill like a mad man. Conor joined myself and Eoin for a bit then we watch Daniel Hubmann not qualifying.
