Sprint Orienteering race (NOL Sprint Final) 33:00 [5] ***** 2.9 km (11:23 / km) +134m 9:15 / km
shoes: Brooks Pure Cadence
Possibly the most difficult sprint course I have ever run!! The Kelvin Grove Urban village map was extremely physical and technical, and the courses were set with technical route choice decisions, often complicated by multi-storey buildings, OOB areas and stairs.
Was happy with the first half of the course, possibly running a top-7 time in the A-Final, but lost any hope I had with a huge (5 minute) error at #16. Completely forgot that the only level mapped is the running level, and as a result was wasting time on other levels!
Overall quite disappointed with my performance, it clearly showed I didn't deserve to be in the A-final, but it was a great learning experience and I've taken plenty away to improve my sprint orienteering (still my favourite distance!)
