Very wet so short WU and even shorter cool down as right big toe was very sore.

WOC spectator race #6: went out hard to see what sort of result I could get but way too many errors (mostly small). Poor direction and not reading properly to 1 resulting in being too far right/past the control (+45"), just running and not reading for first 50% of 2 resulting in a poor route (+45"-60"), second guessed entry to 3 (+20-30"), poor entry to 5 as difficulty interpreting hill top (+30"), very poor exit towards 7 leading to significant confusion and being way too far left (+45"), just right at 8 (+15"), too far left on 11 (+20"), wide weak route choice to 12 (?20" slower), hesitant entering 14 (+15"), unsure at end of 15 and hesitated big time as I couldn't see open part shown on map on the ground (+20-30"), bashed through some green I didn't need to and knocked my contact out of place (+20-30"), punched wrong control at 19 and didn't realise until halfway to 20 (+45").

So overall orienteering ok but not great but at least I enjoyed it. Felt pretty fresh when i finished - again finding it quite hard to push in this terrain (guess it requires some practice). Hit my right big toe near the end and was very sore by the finish. Hopefully nothing too damaging.
