Run 31:00 [3] *** 2.6 km (11:55 / km)
spiked:6/7c
Wasn't feeling great this morning - probably a combination of tiredness and a bit of a cold (had a sore throat of sorts, although it's settled this evening). The last two days were the important races so today was about enjoying myself, so I thought I'd give it 20 minutes to see if I felt any better once running. That question was answered in the negative (back also wasn't great today) and I wasn't really in the mood for the 90-100 minutes it was looking like being. By then I'd already made one error of some consequence.
Rather disappointing end to an enjoyable few days. I've been rather disconcerted by how much difficulty I've had in coping with a terrain type which I've run well in in the past (albeit 20 years ago). I've also noticed more difficulty than I can remember in reading detail on the maps. I haven't noticed anything similar in other terrains (including complex granite), so wonder if a contributing factor might be the low light levels in the forest here - although I'm also well aware that not too many orienteers get past 45 without needing glasses and I'm only a month away from that milestone.
