Orienteering race 2:00:23 [4] *** 12.6 km (9:33 / km) +455m 8:06 / km
25c
Started out strong with only one significant error in the first dozen controls (which was more than 2/3rds the distance of the course), but after Mike Smith past me everything fell apart. My brain seemed to shut off thinking I only had a bunch of short legs left and would be done soon. Of course this was death and every short leg seem so frustrating (especially the butterfly). My goal of 1:45:00 was shot and every time I told myself to focus more... I seem to loose more focus. Eventually I conseeded to simply going under 2hrs, but unfortunately I had started my watch late and of course when I crossed the line I was just over my adjusted goal.
Still... pleased with my improvements in long distance events and orienteering in general since January.
