Orienteering Competion race 2:02:22 [4] **** 9.48 km (12:54 / km) +210m 11:37 / km
spiked:17/24c shoes: VJ Supra 2012-2
What a shitty run. Legs tired from the beginning, but still had a good first 2 controls. Then started to do some quite shaky o-ing, lots of little and bigger mistakes - unconcentrated or what? Running and O got a bit better in the middle of the course, then hurt my knee on the way to 14 which led to more mistakes and a lot more walking and only careful running, especially ofroad.
Luckily knee seems OK today, but spend half of my evening at an eyes doctor because of some branch that hit my eye - no problems during the run or afterwards, but in the evening while reading started to see some strange lightning phenomena, which can be a sign of something not so nice (Netzhautablösung), so had to have that check out. They found nothing yesterday, but told me to have it checked again in the next days - so of to another date with the eye doctor today :( Hopefully with the same info...
Fitting afterplay for an already shitty run...
Details:
3) Route was OK, but was to insecure in the end and not sure where I was first when running around the thicket. 30s
5) OK, but no will to really run on the nice path...
6) Route was OK, but again I never was sure what I'm doing on the second half, lots of stopping, locating and walking. 1 min.
7) Worst mistake of the day, cause I didn't orienteer properly at all and needed lots of re-locating. 3:30
11) Confused first and second path. 40s
14) Hurt my knee here, had to sit down for 1 min. first. Then when on the path had no idea in which direction to go and for some reason was just to confused and undecided. 1:30
16) 1 min. because I had no idea of fine orienteering.
23) Lost at least 5 min. due to my routechoice through the "white" forest, which was in reality ugly green shit - should have bailed down much sooner, but wanted to spare my knee the climb.
Total time loss: > 13:10
