Orienteering race 1:11:25 [5] 9.7 km (7:22 / km) +240m 6:33 / km
US Classic Champs- Day 1
A long and physically hard course. I had a good run, only real time loss was to number 8, lost 1 min there. Otherwise just had a steady pace and stayed patient during the whole course, drinking at all opportunities and pushing the pace at the end. Wasn't sure if I was fast enough to do well, but I only lost 1 minute to the leader and was well ahead of my US Champs eligible competitors. I was happy to find a pace which was do-able and still left some energy to orienteer well. In the open terrain you can really push too hard and get stupid ;-)
