CW north from the Dog -truncated route, Windy day. 36.40 to turn, although wind basically westerly feels like more adverse on return

Tinsel Trot, quite wet on top and windy. Had to work quite hard and knees not great, so very slow on decent.; - I did manage to avoid the heavy shower

Disappointed by results at POM -really not able to run normally even in the most gentle terrain and seem to be even more rubbish than normal at the navigation. Morale is quite low and plenty to think about

Warm up

POM day 4 Quiaios Long 48/110 Winner 53.42.
Happier with this format but did lose time in several circles, the worst being 2 mins at 8 where I went away althouigh only 10 m from flag. Going to 15 misread track went east rather than north but recovered quite quickly (-2 mins) and then got into wrong re-entart at 16 (-1 min) and poor route to 17 (-90 secs)

Warm up

POM day 3 Quiasios 67/119 winner 31.15.
Started in bushy area, too far left at 2 and lured to wrong control, relocated (- 90 secs). Too far right at 3 and lured to wrong control, relocated. (- 1 min) These are the result of low confidence. Not fast but ok to 14 and then on the 150m leg to 15 lost 6 mins -needed to lose some height on LHS of spur -too far right could not relocate but eventually worked back to 14.
Tried to take some positives from today which was harder than Day 2 but quite disappointed by that poor leg

Good warm up and ready to go

POM Day 2 Quiaios 44/117 winner 29.24. First 9 controls were in clean and hence quite easy forest -stupidly turned wrong way out of the re-entrant near 2 and lost 1 min but overall in good shape at 9 for much more physical forest. Lost 1 min (unlucky) with thick crossing stream, at both 15 and 16 lost 90 secs/ 2 mins each, going off line/ misreading contours and needing to re-locate. A bit disappointing to do this twice.
