Orienteering (FOREST) (Devon Galoppen ) 1:25:25 [5] 11.1 km (7:42 / km) +438m 6:26 / km
(sick) shoes: Inov8 x-talons 212

So angry with this event. The problems started when i ran to the start only to find out it was no cag no go (it was only drizzling a little) this was printed in size 14 font at the bottom of a small sign. Once i started visibility was poor however the mist was nothing in comparison to the 5ft bracken everywhere. At c5 it all went wrong as i spent way to long searching which was not made any easier by the control less than 30m from it and the bracken that hid the actual control. By now i had given up trying. For the rest of the course i felt ill and angry which made the whole experience enjoyable. In the end spent more time contemplating going back to the car than orienteering.

30 minuets around Ottery as i went out a bit too late to go on any roads. Sore throat and now a blocked nose far from ideal going in to xc season.

Woke up with a really sore throat which isn't pleasant especially at the start of xc season. Hopefully it doesn't get worse and just remains a low level cough.

Orienteering (FOREST) race (JHIs Relay) 26:22 [5] 4.3 km (6:08 / km) +120m 5:23 / km
shoes: Inov8 x-talons 212

Went out strong leading to c1 then followed by a good battle for first with Louis up until c5 where everyone came past once i hit the swamp and went to the wrong fork (luckily Pete came past and lead me in). Spent the rest of the time trying to catch up the time i lost which was not helped by a fork which saw me and Pete have to go higher than the lead pack. Around c12-3 i went past Jim and Joe then as we entered the technical green i tried a kick to catch Pete however nothing could be done by this point and it was another 1,2,3 for Scotland. i came back 4th but luckily Ewan got our team into 3rd and Stan out sprinted Ali to hold onto the podium.

shoes: Inov8 x-talons 212

One of the more satisfying runs I've had in a long time. Started out pretty clean only major mistakes coming from some dodgy route choice. At c11 wasted time hesitating as i entered the control circle but no more than 30sec. overall please to beat some of the Scottish on there home terrain and only lost 3 mins on Gooch who described his run as one of his best.
