Orienteering race (Woodlands) 23:53 [5] *** 3.3 km (7:14 / km) +80m 6:27 / km
ahr:162 max:175 spiked:17/23c shoes: Salomon Sense Pro 5 Blue
Woodlands Office Park 1:4'000 5m
Final of the Urban Series
Had a disappointing run, finishing 3rd behind Alex (1 min) and Dylan F (15s). Lost out on the series win as a result (needed 2nd to tie with Alex).
Good fast start, but struggled with the map in places. Runnability was a lot better than shown in any slower terrain and reading uncrossable boundaries was probably a bit unfair (poor border lines in places and planning that encouraged people to accidentally or intentionally break the rules). I got caught out big time by not seeing an underpass 8-9 (Alex as well according to Strava) that should have been marked with purple passage symbols on the map. Some paths through olive areas also not marked on the map.
Otherwise only some time lost by not running straighter on the longer legs, e.g. 2-3 and 13-14. Will need to see the splits when they come out how I lost 60s to Alex, or if it's just pure speed difference.
Well done Alex!

Trail Running (Wolwespruit) 53:15 [5] 9.24 km (5:46 / km) +258m 5:03 / km
ahr:165 max:174 weight:79.9kg shoes: Salomon Sense Pro 5 Blue
Wolwespruit TT and managed a PB again for the 3rd time, this time about 30s faster. Dark right from the start. Saw the bushbabies again up the Orange Trail climb. Felt comfortable over the rocky sections in the dark.
Tested a new Petzl Actic for the upcoming race. Slightly front heavy, but that shouldn't be as much of a problem when I put lithium batteries in. Felt like I needed a little bit more light at 5:00/km, but should be fine if I'm going slower.
