Orienteering race 56:06 [5] 10.0 km (5:37 / km)
OO Cup day 5, another really tricky and rocky course, but felt like I had got to grips with the terrain a bit more today. Lost some time on a maverick route choice on a long leg, but aside from that no major time loss. A surprising amount down on the Czechs, who seem to be flying in the rocky stuff.
Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
Longer jog back from the finish, very hot in the sun.

Orienteering 59:07 [5] 10.0 km (5:55 / km)
OO Cup day 4, a quite different area of bigger karst shapes with plenty of exposed limestone underfoot. The middle section of the course was dead slow, and I made a big mistake on the shortest leg of the course in a boulder field. Ran the last part hard to burn off the excess energy. Almost 9 mins down on Jan Prochazka, who had a blinder.
Running warm up/down 40:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
Start and back plus a morning jog from the campsite.

Orienteering race 31:06 [5] 6.0 km (5:11 / km)
OO cup day 3, shorter and much faster on a bit of rock-less terrain next door to the first two days areas. Fast forest, but some big hills and the navigation felt dead easy after the last two days, only lost around 10 seconds. Followed by a baking hot trip into Ljublijana for the afternoon.

Orienteering race 1:14:06 [5] 12.0 km (6:11 / km)
OO Cup day 2, straight line distance of 7.6km, which means that I just scraped 10 mins/km even with a good run. Just one bigger mistake and a load of hesitations, less than a minute down in 3rd place today, much better! I cant believe the course took that long, I was running hard all the way, honest!

Event: OO.cup/09
Orienteering race 52:06 [5] 8.0 km (6:31 / km)
OO Cup day 1 and supposedly a middle distance, only 4.8km. The terrain was nails with millions of identical holes everywhere and lots of rock underfoot. Mostly it went well, but a made two huge mistakes - one typical karst mistake - off over the wrong bridge between holes and on a parallel error, the other, where I just couldnt find the control, although I was in the circle the whole time. Frustrating but lots of fun.

Running 1:00:00 [2] 10.0 km (6:00 / km)
Nice scenic run up a river canyon from Stara Fuzina with Jen. Lots of stops for photos and a swim in an ice cold - really, really cold so that it made your bones ache within seconds - in the river and through an underwate hole. Nice.
Orienteering 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
OO Cup model event. Wow, really tricky karst terrain, its going to be hard!

Running 2:00:00 [1] 14.0 km (8:34 / km)
Caught the gondola up to the ski hotel at Vogel and then ran/hiked (Nails won't like it) up to the summit at 1922m. Stunning scenery, alpine meadows, knife edge ridges, and huge crags, a really great day out. Followed by a dip in Lake Bohinj and a sunbathe on the shore.
