12th
First leg in a team with Tim, Cam and Lizzie.
Start lane was super narrow and I was starting on the 3rd row, so just got completely swamped at the start. As a result, I'd barely looked at my map so had to make an instant left/right decision. Decided to go left but only 3 other girls had done that so was like aw no I've messed this one up already. But got to the control just before Elena Roos who was first from the other group.
Then slowly got overtaken by people through to the next split where I had the longer one and was suddenly way at the back. Put in quite an effort along the track back towards the arena, then everyone split around the building to 6 and I chose to go left (again with only 2 others). Got to the control further up in the pack. Nice!
Run through and 2 park controls was where it really started hurting. Couple of teams came past me, then there was a bit of a gap so was just desperately trying to hang on and stay close to Charlotte so Tim and Kris could work together. Handed over in 14th place, 48secs down on the lead.
Tim hung onto Kris for the first half then got quite tired in the second, but managed to pull us up to 6th, only 39secs from the lead!
Then Cam and Lizzie had stable runs for us to finish in 12th place...equal best woc result.

8th
Haven't been this nervous for a race in ages. Got woken up in the morning with my stomach cramping up. Started at the same time as Maja - same as in Scotland when I had qualified in 4th place, so was feeling really pumped and excited to go.
Instantly confused on the first control with the start triangle being back the direction we had just run. But after reaching the first control, I relaxed and started running well. Only real time loss was on 12 when I initially thought the control was on this side of the wall, then stopped to read my descriptions, failed for a bit then realised it was on the other side.
Safely qualified, but also didn't leave a lot of energy in reserve for the final.

23rd
Spent the whole first loop feeling very stressed out with dodging pedestrians whilst trying to read the map and run over very rough cobblestones. Wasn't able to read ahead at all and constantly felt like I was behind on the nav.
Second loop was a bit quieter but legs had nothing left after this mornings race.
Still, it's my best WOC sprint placing so happy with the result.

Split the course into 2 parts...10mins and 6mins long. Very hot and navigating poorly even though I'd already looked at all the route choices the day before. Really struggled to take in info from the map.

Orienteering 45:00 [3] 4.5 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Bolds - Pink
Some lovely open bits, mostly horrible bits. Very physical...spent most of the time walking, but hopefully in a race I'll be able to push through it a bit more. Feeling quite dizzy towards the end as it was over 30 degrees, so stopped at 11.
