NI Score Champs. Slightly panicked at the start and initially ran off in the wrong direction but realised it pretty quickly. Took the same route as Jill and Susan to the first couple of controls and every time I thought I was starting to get away I'd make a compass based error and arrive at the same time. Really pushed along the sea front and then tried to relax a bit more once I got back up the hill and focus more on trying to keep it smooth. Managed to collect them all and retained my title, very happy chick!

NI Night Champs. Really fun event and even with the dobbs I was struggling to get up the steep banks. Again a couple of dodgy directions, leaving number 1 I zigzagged my way to 2 as I kept hitting impenetrable green. Had decided just to nip in and out of 4 and not take on the green, which turned out to be a good idea as Mari said she got stuck in it. Again dodgy compass work meant I lost about 10s on the short leg to 11. Met mum in the river 12-13 so got a boost up out of it and then dragged her up behind me. 14 wasn't there when I arrived so I spent a couple of mins looking for it before giving up and moving on. Jogged up the hill to 15 as I reckoned the leg would be voided and then pegged it round the last couple of controls. Turns out the leg was voided so race time was 25.08
Second title of the day and the one I really wanted to make it 4 wins in 5 years.
