Running (road) 17:41 2.92 km (6:03 / km) +6m 6:00 / km
ahr:121 max:161 shoes: 2019 Inov8 X-talon 212
Warm up along the river until I found a bush to stop in. Then back again. Trying out putting in a bit of a longer effort than just strides, did like 300m, maybe needs to be more like 500. Drills and strides then back in the car park and felt pretty good to go.
Orienteering race 13:29 **** 3.32 km (4:04 / km)

QB Day 2 - sprint 1 - 15th
Started quick. First control didn't have SI Air turned on which was a nightmare when it was supposed to be. All controls were punched like normal after that even though some had Air on. Pretty good feeling through the first part and got most of the routes I think. Few micro things. 7->8 was a timed out road crossing then.
Other side of the road I didn't have such good flow but was still ok. Few corners and turns I maybe could have been more agressive on. Timed out again 17->18
Last bit was fairly intense then, lots of turning and was really starting to struggle with accelerating out of controls and turns. Not many places to make mistakes though and think it went ok. Just not super fast.

Big group cool down the other direction along the river.

Start happened a bit earlier than I expected so I had a bit shorter to warm up than I thought. Legs were heavy, which was fair enough but felt like I got moving ok with a few strides and longer leg openers. Had to go into the start pen 5 mins after first 2nd leg runner cam back so there was quite a bit of waiting around in there that I didn't log.
Orienteering race 11:55 **** 2.64 km (4:31 / km) +34m 4:14 / km

QB day 2 - Sprint Relay - team 7th? (Amelia, Conor, Me, Ellie)
Amelia had a sweet run, then Conor hung on to come back with still plenty of people around. I went out with one guy about 5s in front and another maybe 5s back.
Tried to close the gap early to 1, unforked and I did that a bit, then 2/3 was forked, though quite evenly but I lost a bit while the other 2 guys had the other fork. We were all quite close still until 7 which was in the foresty bit, then post 8 there was a hill and they got a gap. Could still seem them towards 9 but only flashes really and by the spectator I was solo really.
Missed the best route to 11 and was surprised to see Matt only just leaving the far loop as I entered (~2 mins). There was some dodgy mapping here as well and I missed the olive green gap costing maybe a further 10s so I was a bit back now. Could still see them but then had the long forking to 14 and had dropped back to a new group of 3. Front guy knocked the si box off 15 into the hedge so me and Tane had to manual punch. Straight up race with Tane from there and he managed to just stay ahead into the finish.
Handed over to Ellie and she did pretty well for us to take 2nd regional team (with the PineStars and BushRangers not counting)
Pretty fun race. Short and sweet. Nice to be in the thick of it.

Token cool down after watching a fairly exciting conclusion to the relay. Legs feeling fairly tired alright. Went up to what looked like a nice playing field but it was actually soggy and bumpy so wasn't that pleasant.
