Orienteering race (Le Revard II) 2:48:18 [5] ***** 13.1 km (12:51 / km) +620m 10:23 / km
ahr:157 max:184 spiked:17/31c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1
French Long Distance Champs. 1:15'000
The most devastating event I've ever done. The most technical terrain ever, the most technical map ever, very hot weather, and a monster long course on a very hard to read map (1:15').
Had a midday run, so I got the worst of the heat. Only 1 water point, which took me 1h45 to get to. I missed #1, over-running it somehow (lots of felled terrain). Pulled to left on #3, got disillusioned to #5. Wasted lots of time going nowhere slowly. Lots of green and a very big learning experience. I essentially gave up racing on this leg and decided to keep pushing onto the finish. Tactics started focusing on using handrails and not cutting corners. Way too low on #9, short on #10, lost at #13, but lucked out. Took the long (safest and fastest) route to #14, but still got pulled at one stage. Horrible butterflies. Was very drained at this stage, so was barely running. The rest of the race was a slog. Most time wasted in wrong route choices and generally not running fast enough over terrain. Very much a case of navigating 'where I am / was', rather than 'where I'm going'.
Just finishing pushed you up the ranks. Finished 111th out of 127, but 42 runners didn't finish. Results Most of DNFs due to heat and lack of water on the course. Many more disillusioned and no-longer interested in WOC.
TE 4.5, 214 Epoc, 1464 kcal.

Orienteering race (Cret du Benevent) 43:30 [5] **** 4.1 km (10:37 / km) +210m 8:27 / km
ahr:174 max:186 spiked:11/16c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1
Regional Middle Distance Champs 1:10'000, Semnoz mountains, just south of Annecy.
A very large international turnout for a regional champs. Me and Jeremy had late starts, which was quite nice. After only 1.5 hrs sleep last night on the plane, I had a surprisingly decent run. Terrain was challenging, yet map still quite readable due to presence larger topographic features. Made a good parallel error mistake at #4, got a bit lost at #7, wrong route to #8, poor planning and route to #11, same again to #12.
Finished 106th, which was still quite respectable as there were 242 starters. Quite a few mp's and dsq's. Results
TE 5.0, Epoc 294, 722 kcal.
