Blacka Moor fell race - 2nd Woman (18th overall)
My first proper fell race (besides the 2km Grasmere one I did last year). Absolutely loved it!! :) Felt really strong throughout, got passed by about 5 men on the first decent but then they all stopped to walk up the 2nd big hill and I just casually ran back past them again :p
Won a whole container full of fruit, cake and peanut butter too which was awesome :)

First run up Arthur's Seat. Absolutely loving it! :) Such a nice day and awesome views, so was just running up every hill and sitting on the top to admire the view. Ran back via the Royal Mile and a quick walk around the entrance to the castle, then back through the Meadows.

Schiehallion Weekend - WRE Middle Tullochroisk
Didn't have a great start for the first 5 controls. Bad navigation on 1 and 2, then just felt flat physically up the hills. But got going well from 5 and got the confidence up. Managed to pick up a lot of places and ended up in 16th, 6.5mins down on the lead.

Schiehallion Weekend - WRE Sprint Bannockburn
Super tricky to begin with in the housing estate, then smashed the long leg route choice, putting 12 seconds on the next best time. Lost a bit of time in the second house estate, just losing my rhythm a bit and not planning ahead.
1st place, 37 seconds in front of second. Super stoked! :)

shoes: Inov8 X-Talon Orange

Training at Blacka Moor. First time doing non-sprint orienteering in the UK. Struggled to find some of the features, but was in the right places. Tough running through all the heather and bramble.

Orienteering 32:49 [3] 3.62 km (9:04 / km) +71m 8:15 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon Orange

2nd course. Really wasn't in the right mental place, then rolled my ankle going to 4 so ended up finishing off the controls in the open and skipping the forest ones at the end. Really not enjoying orienteering much at the moment...lacking a lot of confidence in my navigating. Hopefully this weekend goes better.

VENLA - First leg for Fossum IF 2.
Had an awesome start and was in the top 50, 90 seconds down on the lead at halfway. Then followed the group to the wrong split, spent forever trying to relocate and made a parallel error whilst doing that....there goes 10mins and 300 places :( Managed to navigate well to the finish and only lose another 2mins on the lead, but lost all motivation to run fast.

Jog around a Jukola model map. Awesome area! Just bare rock and crunchy moss underfoot and super fast. Went really well at the beginning, then lost confidence on some downhill legs through green, then went well again at the end.

shoes: VJ Bolds - Purple

World Cup Middle - Munkedal
Started out very hesitant on the first few controls, then made an error on the 3rd and could see the girl who started 2 mins behind me. Not sure what happened but a combination of planning the long leg and stressing over making a mistake and being caught meant that I didn't see the short leg to the 4th control and ran straight from 3 to 5. :(
Polish girl caught me back up again at 7 and basically ran the rest of the course with her, cos she was navigating a lot better than I was. Got a massive nose bleed at the end too, so just generally a rubbish day all round.

World Cup Sprint - Lysekil
Really enjoyed this race and was navigating really well. Only mistake was my route on the long leg to number 5, but couldn't see any other decent option at the time. Just not feeling quite at 100% running speed with being ill.
Finished in 26th place. Unfortunately the race got voided due to sport ident air issues :(

World Cup Sprint Relay - Fredriksten festning
Set off on 4th leg in a good position, at the back of a huge pack. Went okay until the 10th control when I went into oxygen debt, blacked out a bit and was too low for the control. Bumbled round the last loop not really able to read the map, then second to last control was put in the wrong place on a tree to the left of the track, not the right. And I had the code for the last control in my head so paused for quite a bit as i didn't think it was mine.
Finished in 18th place, 11th country.

World Cup Long - Prestebakke
79th
Still feeling pretty ill so was struggling in the physical terrain. Affected my route choices a few times where I chose to link up the small tracks instead of taking a straighter option. Made a few errors, but in general was happy with the navigation.
Pleased to have finished though, and good terrain training for Woc long.

World Cup Model
Walked/jogged round the model event. Terrain is super physical with lots of blueberry bushes and other undergrowth so constantly having to lift your knees.
Feeling even worse than yesterday. Spent most of the day lying on the couch feeling miserable.
