BUCS Relay - Hugest - 2nd
Tough little race as Iwasn't sure what to expect of the area. Dogdy route to 1 meant I lost 20ish seconds, but was soon back at the front. Pushed on the long leg with Dane and got a bit of a gap of the EUOC boys but the brambles prevented us from getting away. Going well until 10 were the pack was spread out and I got the far gaffle in all the brambles allowing the group to get away, pushed hard up the hill on the path but there were a good 100m ahead. Also made a mistake at 13. Pushed on to the end thinking fairy angry thinking id messed up, but managed to come in only 40 seconds behind.
Good run by Joe to catch EUOC, but sadly lost them again. Strong last leg from Matt. Happy with my performance off little O training. Shame not to win but enjoyable orienteering - looking forward to JK.

BUCS 2017 @ Wharncliffe - 9th
Little prep going into this (1 sprintervals & 2 average at best forest sessions), but feeling good. Started well, nailed 1. Steady on 2 to get it right. Raz on 3. Worked on the slope well going past a lost Tam (2 min man) near 5. Got Potter (4 min man) at 7 after taking lower and faster route. Worked hard in the terrain to 8 and out to path for leg to 9. Raz on path to 9 then bearing in. Steady in the rocks with Potter to get it right. On to the moor for a Raz but began to bonk hard due to only eating and cheese and onion sandwich before hand but pushed on hard regardless. Miss on 18 - cheeky control. Big train came flying through (Johny, Jamie, Sasha) so hopped aboard to the end, but was bonking bad and smashed my toe/foot on a rock so was struggle to the end.
Good run, but could have been much better if I could have ran to what my fitness would have allowed from14 to the finish. No real mistakes, just caution at times but that is to be expected when you haven't orienteered much recently. When I get back into it again proper I will be very good!
