Orienteering race (NavStock Long) 2:41:00 [4] *** 17.7 km (9:06 / km) +500m 7:58 / km
ahr:154 max:177 spiked:22/27c shoes: La Sportiva - Slingshot
( 13.?k nominal ) about a zillian meters vertical...
Aside from the heat, the biting flies, the stinging nettles, and the soul crushing elevation gain, this was a great course. I was clearly not moving as fast in this event but was racing well up until c19 where I started to fade rapidly. By c21 I was walking all the hills and even some of the flats through thick under growth. It's a shame between the bonking and a 9min loss on c24(BINGO) I would have finished a good 30+ sooner. I have a lot of work to do before I can run this sort of distance well, after having run several events the days previous. Some Impressive finishes by the top runners.
An awesome weekend of Orienteering! Can't say enough about the course and map quality. Can't wait until next year!
