Event: British Orienteering Championships
 

basically garmin connects messed this up so having to use strava but it’s got all the distance to the start on even tho i didn’t record it oops

BOC Long - 3rd
Felt sooo sick all the way to the start and was debating making myself throw up to try and feel better but too much of a wimp haha. Think it was down to badly timed and little food.
Was going great til I made a mess of #12 getting distracted and then for some reason turned left instead of right when executing my plan. Nice one bruvvaaaa! Lost about 2mins. Still wouldn’t have changed my position without it because Rach n Pip smashed it today woo go gals!!!!
Happy with this because even though I messed up I still podiumed and my mistake didn’t cause me to lose positions, my running speed did.
Ran great at the start I think but hit a bit of a wall on the slight hill up to #9 after all the fast running at 7,8,9. After that was a bit of a grind still feeling sick af.

bit of a nervy wait for anna to come in and then a pathetic jog feeling like i could spewww

British Mixed Sprint Relay - 1st
Kept it controlled so i didn’t make any mistakes and lose the lead. No mistakes just not pushing too hard.

WD with Kirstin :D
