Orienteering - race 44:00 [3] 3.7 mi (11:53 / mi)

Number 8. What on earth was going on? Map was a rough open spur, terrain was half open, half impenetrable. Control was a clearing. How do you get a clearing on an open knoll???

Graeme pointed out later that if you spun around three times, did a burpee, swore in five different languages and held the map in the shade, some green became visible in the rough open and it all made sense. I didn’t know this so I didn’t do it and nothing made sense. But it was being a total tit of my own accord at 10 that cost me. I would have won otherwise...

Orienteering - race 1:10:00 [3] 6.9 mi (10:09 / mi)

So far, so hot, felt shit, nearly died. Borrowed a not great compass, so made a big mistake at 4, and I sort of stopped believing in it then. Which was unfortunate as there wasn’t really a plan b at 14 and I dropped loadsa time. I’d have won otherwise.

Orienteering - race 39:00 [3] 5.6 mi (6:58 / mi)

Totally cool terrain! Giraffes! Ran ok in the start, would have been a good race if it wasn’t for 13 and 14. I won beating all the old men
