Orienteering race 1:36:07 [4] 14.8 km (6:30 / km) +480m 5:35 / km
shoes: Icebug O-shoe
US Nationals Long
Another good day for me (at least mostly)
Started stable and took the time to get into the race. A bit hesitant to 1, a bit too high to 2 and a bit too far left to 3 but all in all probably not more than 45sec.
Could continue with a solid race and decided to invest 0.5-1min to 10 to relax my head a bit before the ending.
Overshot slightly to 11 and unfortunately got a branch directly into the eyes, losing my hard contact lense. Searching a bit but no chance and after some thoughts of ending the race there decided to try to finish it. Lost around 2.5min on 11.
Had to limit the map reading as of the to the absolut minium as I always had to completely stop and not even then could be sure to get a sharp view on the map.
Went too high to 12 (1min), hesitated towards 14 (30sec) and probably lost another 1min until the end adapting the speed to the reduced eye sight.
A bit a pity with the lost 4-5min in the ending but overall still a very enjoyable experience.

Orienteering race 17:07 [4] 3.9 km (4:23 / km) +50m 4:07 / km
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
US Nationals Sprint
A good sprint race for me. Some suboptimal route choices to 15 (10sec), 16 5sec), 20 (10 sec) but otherwise pretty much what is possible without proper training.

Event: WCOC Tarrywile Meet
Orienteering race 49:00 [4] 7.0 km (7:00 / km) +250m 5:56 / km
shoes: Icebug O-shoe
A pretty uninspired run...
Tired and unconcentrated from the beginning to the end. That the course was in the less interesting part of the map didn't add to the excitement.
Ice cream and the great weather are making up for it now:)
