The first race of the year! I haven't done much cycling at all this year so far, only 20% of the distance of last year! But I've been doing foot orienteering through the winter and that has helped a lot. I did a blue foot orienteering course in the morning before this race and it wiped me out - I 'm definately no runner and I was running for 2 (very hilly) hours..
The foot-o has worked because I found the MTBO navigation really easy compared to the complicated stuff this morning. I made a couple of route choice errors but for once it was being tired that was the problem rather than the navigation. I'm quite excited about this so have high hopes for the season now :-)
