2nd / 39, 20s behind Mark3 who frankly is a lot faster than me so not bad.

No real mistakes, slowed down a bit too much in the middle but straight forward course, some control picking. Maybe left 5-10s in it so as good as it gets at this point.

Dorset Sprint Championship, Long course 2nd run.
3rd / 40. Results http://www.wimborne-orienteers.org.uk/16%20Club%20...
Contrary to the first run, this second was very frustrating. Control 2 fell on the ground which I did not notice first as it was in the vegetation, so ran past. Stopped, came back. looked around and took a while before I noticed. Dropped 40s straight away which was massively diasppointing: Mark3 started 1 min behind so was on my heels immediately and in a Sprint I suspected I lost 2nd place already in the accumulated results.
It then affected my concentration quite a lot: I wasn't keeping up with the map as much as I should have, causing me to drop further 10s on 8, 20 on 10 coming out of 9 (at 9 I had no route plan for 10 so started in the vague direction which was not the right one), 5s on 17 and 10s on 18 (both hesitations as I wasn't on top of my run). So quite a bit of time lost. I may have been only 3rd on this second run anyway as Alex T was running very well but likely would have kept my 2nd place overall.
Bad luck with #2, but the rest of the mistakes were on me because I let the bad luck effect my mindset for the rest of the run.
Legs weren't feeling as cooperative as they were on run 1 as well, though not visible on the GPS track.

SouthDowns weekend, Hampden Park sprint race, Men Open.
3rd / 38, results: http://www.southdowns-orienteers.org.uk/results-ar...
3rd sprint race of the day, so expected legs to be sluggish but they held up OK.
Started slow though, smaller mistakes to 3 and 4 - probably about 20-25s all together. Was OK after this until 16 where I overshot the path and had to cross the green section, 5s lost. Better concentration this time than in Potterne Park earlier, did not let the early mistakes get to me.
