Orienteering mostly OK until the very end, but my current running speed was far from good enough for this event:
I decided immediately that I would run around the first hill even if the entire starting field ran straight over, but it turned out that everyone followed the track. I had started at the end of the 120-man strong starting group so the entire uphill slog was in a long dual line.
Closer to the control people started to split apart for the forking controls, but a lot of them seemed to join the wrong group or make other stupid mistakes, there were runners going in all directions!
I hit this one and the next perfectly, but from halfway to #3 I was effectively alone, just seeing other runners occationally as they were recovering from earlier mistakes.
I hesitated a bit before #5, maybe 10-15 sec, then decided that I'd take the easy option to #6:
Except for the spot of dark green the valley down to the path was very runnable and the control was of course dead easy this way.
I took the path option also to #7, then I hesitated a bit 70-80 m north of #8 because the entire area was an old logging field but only partially mapped as such.
Another safe route choice to #8, following the exit tracks up into the control.
The first two controls on the second loop were very easy, then I had to take bit more care to locate #13, running around a windfall to get into the control marsh.
This little detour meant that I entered the control from the side, so when I angled about 90 degrees out to the next, I ended up going in the wrong direction!
At this point I was mentally finished with the race and had to get all the way down to the roadside in order to recover, having passed just a few meters from the control on my way there. I lost 1:30++ here. :-(
I almost passed the next control, dropping another 5-10 sec, then the last two were easy.
I should have been at least 6-7 minutes faster in order to match my better races this season!
