1 PM

Running warm up/down 20:00 [3] 1.5 mi (13:20 / mi)

Warming up before the sprint. Apart from running, doing some drills.

Orienteering race 22:35 [5] 3.1 km (7:17 / km)

I did a pretty good run. I think I might have lost at most 30-45 seconds, and that on the long legs (15 and 19).

The field was very tough today though and I was clearly the slowest short-distance runner. You can easily see that on how I lost more towards the end compared with the beginning. I placed 24 out of 25.

10 AM

Running warm up/down 4:50 [3] 0.37 mi (13:04 / mi)

Some warming up before going out on the green.

Orienteering race 50:00 [4] 3.79 mi (13:12 / mi) +215m 11:13 / mi

A very hilly course by Dean. I did pretty well today, and was able to keep up the speed for most of the course until I hit the big hill to 13 and that totally killed me. I felt bad first that I was 10 minutes behind Ian, but I think the hilly long run a couple of days ago made me tire sooner, especially for the uphills. I think I should be able to be closer to his time being more rested. Maybe 46-47 minutes would have been possible.

Technically things went well. I am familiar with the park, and that obviously helped but I did a good job today of entering/exiting the controls. Only two mistakes today:

9: I did not notice the earth bank on the map, and I had to climb down it. It was more extensive than the map shows, so I had not choice but carefully climbing down it.
12: Drifting too far east. Mistakingly thought the stonewall was the one to the west, but quickly realized where I was after seeing the houses.

Orienteering race 17:05 [4] 1.75 mi (9:46 / mi) +75m 8:37 / mi

After some rest, I went out on the yellow course for running with some speed. I was tired from the Green course though so I was relatively slow. I even walked a bit to 7 because of the steep uphill.
