9 AM
Running 11:03 [1] 1.09 km (10:07 / km) +2m 10:01 / km
Warming up for the prologue.
Orienteering 16:26 [2] 2.29 km (7:12 / km) +9m 7:03 / km
Failed to warm up / prepare mentally and never got into the groove until the around the 6th control.
The course was 1.7 km with 10 controls so it was a bit of a control picking exercise and combined with the thicker vegetation to the first control I was on edge from the start and couldn't take time to get mentally into it like I should have during the warm up. Way missed the 4th control and lost a ton of time there but also circled some of the control locations most notably the 2nd where I was on the right hill but the flag wasn't quite on the side I expected it to be. Was off to the right of 8 as well.
Need to always be mentally ready before I start!

10 AM
Orienteering race 19:30 [3] 2.6 km (7:30 / km)
This went much better than the prologue. Started 45 seconds after Robbie and ~1:30 after Damian and Will.
Was actually planning and reading ahead on this one. The terrain was a bit easier than for the prologue but nonetheless I was orienteering way better than this morning. Saw the ribbon at 6 from a ways off but then got to the control location and couldn't see the ribbon so wasn't as well focused on the way to 7 and drifted off my compass bearing but corrected well at the end.
Need to take time to get back ahead of the game when I make a mistake.
Picked out the wrong hill at 11 and ran way past the control. Got to the hill before realising what happened. Pretty obvious mistake and shouldn't have happened but I was getting tired and got sloppy. Need to realise when I'm getting tired and redouble my focus.
