Tracking my wanderlust need to get out of town once a month

Track my O progress here

Day Five of the Oringen

A very good day. I paid attention the whole time, and had only one small bobble on one control. I came very close to my goal (and would have made it wouthout my mistake). My time was 62:55 while the winner was 29:57. I didn't move up in my class, as I had hoped, but I was still pleased with the result.

I'm too tired right now to add much to my blog. I have to say I am satisified with my performance here, even though I did not meet my goal. I would have had to have had perfect runs with no mistakes to meet my goal, which is unrealistic. I could have prepared better physically, but obviously that wasn't a priority for me this past year. Overall I'm pleased that I made it through five days in the Swedish forest with only a few big mistakes.

I have some more thoughts about my training and my experiences at the Oringen, but they'll have to wait until Monday, when I return from my kayaking and hiking trip.
