Orienteering - race 16:39 [3] 3.2 km (5:12 / km)
Eoc sprint final. 11th. so delighted. Dropped loads at no 1 as the start kite was hidden and didn't see it. Didn't see the splits but loads. 2, 3, 4 good. 5 went wrong way around feature, 6 shite route choice, 7 fine, 8 shite out of the control, 9 good, 10 dropped as i thought it would be on the top of the hill but it was beyond it, 11 nt convinced my route was quickest, ditto 12 but pleased. 13 easy, 14 could have been tidier, ditto 15, 16 and in dropped time on the run in.
So pleased. nice end to a nice set of races. I was petrified at the start, but some words from toni sorted me out. he has been incredible all week. I have learnt so much from him, trying to control my excitement / nerves to get out a good performance. I need to stay calm under pressure and always seek the best line, push myself to get my minute mistakes down to seconds. Can't wait for woc now.
no i am not running the relay as i need to get back to do studying. It has been a cool week. Good luck to the relay teams, and good luck to my roomie lucy b at jwoc. for such a youngster in such a big race she was awesome!
