Orienteering race (NOL10) 23:11 [4] 3.55 km (6:32 / km)
ahr:164
NOL10 heat
started off poorly, spiked control 7, but the control number didn't match control 1, the line from 6-7 crosses near the start triangle, so i went to the wrong control :(
ran well from 1 to 8, but drifed right from 9 and got the wrong gully, guessed the error and went back to 9, I had overtaken Glen who started 1 min before me at 4, he followed to the wrong control and ended up MP
hit 10 fine but I had nothing left running wise with a big hill to climb :(
no 11 didn't beep/flash after trying a couple of times, I punched my map to avoid the MP
13-14 went around the start area .. could have climbed the fence but I didn't feel like it ..
I had resigned to just pushing through with safe choices, knowing I will finish ahead of MP's, but with the mistakes I have already made, I am too slow to make up any time.
finished last, next time i will need to pace myself on any hilly sprints :(
was expecting to finish down the list, but disappointed to be last, that is what tomorrow was supposed to be for.

Orienteering race (NOL10final) 17:22 [4] 3.4 km (5:06 / km)
ahr:160
flat map - was able to run much better compared to this morning
a few hesitations, a couple of non optimal route choices, but no errors.
caught a couple of juniors around 4-7 and they were a few steps behind me until 17
let them get ahead and cruised from 17 to the finish, was happy with the run, didn't want to push around the last controls and do anything stupid before tomorrows run.
think i could have done better route choices on:
1, 4, 5, 9,13, 21
hesitated on 3-4,4-5, 13-14
ended up 15 of 19, much more respectable.

Orienteering race (MetrO League 6) 42:29 [5] 8.0 km (5:19 / km)
ahr:166 max:176
ran hard, some minor issues, nothing big, felt more like a long sprint than a middle
first error was 4-5, I would have liked to go left but went right, then decided to cut through the bush to make sure i don't lose too much time, this seemed fast enough (40 secs to bash through). so I don't think I lost too much there.
I think 5 was in the wrong place via GPS, coming back to 6 I chose a different line and lost 30 seconds here, drifting right and hitting the track E of the control
went in early at 7, realised I don't see the track.
went bush to 8 and it was my fastest split, so I guess that was a good choice.
#9 was also a good split, I have no idea why, I guess I chose a good path and didn't lose any navigation time, but the runners should have been further ahead of me on that leg.
rest was pretty clean except for the last control, was expecting to see it from the open area.
apparently I lost 7 seconds from the last control to the finish ...
