Again got tempted into it. Had just pulled Phil and Ben on a cart (~140kg) to the bins, legs had some insta doms and wasn't feeling that fast! Relatively straightforward, hesitant on 7,8, 13, 18.

First start and I think that put me off a bit. Feeling quite tired in general, which showed in my orienteering and I was a bit dehydrated. So not great prep. Took an awful route to 1 which lost me 3mins, then lost another 3 by leaving 1 in the wrong direction and trying to find 2 in the wrong place. Then hesitant on 3. Couldn't seem to work the map out at 7 and lost a wee bit of time. Then put my foot in a hole just after 8 and whacked my knee quite badly off a rock. Stupidly tried to come off the drinks point to get to 10 but it was in a different place on the ground from on the map so that didn't work... Bad route to 12 and then messed up the last control as well.
After all that I really could not be bothered with a WD.
But I completed all the days and got my t-shirt. Can't be too disappointed with the results but definitely lots to improve on!

Toe still bothering me but made more effort to be positive and it worked. Such a long first leg, but told myself I just had to get to 1 and it would be ok. Enjoyed it so much more than Day 3. Found all the controls exactly where expected apart from 3. Got a bit distracted by Jenny and started looking too early. Went quite slowly and defs wasn't pushing at all but I was very clean which was satisfying and nice to prove to myself that I can orienteer after some disasters in the boulder maze.

Really did not enjoy it, toe was very sore and I was distracted by it, made loads of mistakes and let myself get too negative during the race, which actually wasn't that bad as a whole.
Got stuck in unmapped undergrowth to 1 and then was scrappy and lost time on 2, 3, 4 and 6 ~5mins total. Then lost 2.5mins on 7, didn't go far enough, faffed, found 15 and then found it. Lost another 1min on 8, veering off.
After that the orienteering went better but I was very slow.

Started well again, so many boulders = so much fun, lost a minute to 9 getting stuck in the grot.
Then messed up 11 v badly, losing ~4mins, came around the hill too high, and then struggled to relocate. Then did the classic running too fast and lost another 90s on 12. Didn't plan well enough on 15, got put off seeing someone I knew with a headcam and lost another 90s. All in all not too bad but disappointed to lose 7mins in total!
Running warm up/down 15:14 [1] 1.95 km (7:49 / km) +30m 7:15 / km

Swam in the lake after, it was so cold, literally the Arctic, could feel my body shutting down! But the boys said I had to swim round the rock so I did, think I must have bashed my L big toe, it was very sore after.

Then after we went to a lake and even though there was a thunderstorm we jogged in our bikinis for like 5mins to reach the lake and it was the best lake ever, so warm and so worth it!

Doing the Ultimate course so no paths all week
Slow and steady. Was orienteering really well and most of the controls were just where I expected them to be! Lost some time on 8, hit a path just before it and got a bit confused with where I was so then was hesitant on 9 and 10. Actually went exactly where planned but wasn't very sure. Put off by paths to 11. 18 was the first big mistake, left 17 in the wrong direction and had to then correct. On 20 I hadn't read the description and was looking on the crag instead of reentrant and 21 I was looking too early. Fairly decent run reckon I lost ~3mins total.
Running warm up/down 8:32 [1] 1.34 km (6:22 / km)
