Orienteering race 1:18:02 [4] *** 9.8 km (7:58 / km) +305m 6:53 / km
25c shoes: o-shoes
JK Long, Detchant.
Bit unsure on the way to c2, but got there ok in the end, good through the short controls, then lost little bits of time through c7 - c10 where Rach pretty much caught me (crikey, didn't know I'd lost 3mins!). I tried to run away through the open controls but we were back together at c15 which seemed a bit low. I lost confidence in the green stuff and lost time on a few controls in that section. 4th place on the day (3rd place over the two days behind Rach and Pippa).

Warm-up jog to the start with Matt, and a cool-down with Rach and Mhairi. Beautiful weather! Couldn't believe it.

Orienteering race 38:59 [5] *** 4.5 km (8:40 / km) +230m 6:54 / km
18c shoes: o-shoes
JK Middle, Kyloe Hills.
2nd place (to Rachael). Happy with this run as well. In particular because it was a tough area physically with lots of 'green' and I normally let myself get pushed around by that. Lost some small amounts of time on a few controls (even 30secs at c17!) but my flow was generally good.

Event: JK 2009
Orienteering race 18:32 [5] *** 2.9 km (6:23 / km)
25c shoes: Runners - old
JK Sprint, Newcastle Uni & Exhibition Park.
4th place. I had a good run and couldn't have improved on the placing, just dropped 5secs at c8 and a slow route-choice to c22 (15secs). The orienteering was pretty straight forward but I enjoyed all the controls in the park and all the changes in direction.

Running 51:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Trail Attack
Down through the Park (high path) then some streets, and up Gledhow Valley on a path in the very thin bit of bushland. More streets to finish.
Then it was straight to Tesco to buy chocolate goodies for Easter. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with the selection (but came away with some bunnies and eggs nevertheless). And Matt says I don't even have to wait til Easter to eat them :D
