Event: State League 5
 

State League 5 at Baal Bone Junction. The cold and steep walk to the start were the low points today but the orienteering was pretty good. Small error on 3 and then misread the map on 4, loosing about 2 minutes. Otherwise very happy with nav and running. The latter was helped by having James with me from 5 through to 10, then I somehow dropped him when he went left out of 10 and I went straight. He still should have beaten me but he managed to NOT punch the last control. So my first SL win for the year ( a couple of years actually!). Good use of a difficult area by the course setter, on my course at least.

Event: State League 4
 

State League 4 at Falnash. 1:15000 was the first adjustment but no real problems with that. Ran OK to 1, odd but safe route choice to 2, 3 and 4 ok but lost about 1 minute on 5. 6 turned out to be on the wrong termie and I went straight to the right one! Not too much time lost. Biggest error was on 9 where I missed a watercourse and ended up on the wrong spur and lost about 2.5 minutes then lost concentration on 11 and drifted below the control losing maybe 45 seconds. Overall happy with run considering lack of recent training.

M55A - Splits

Afternoon ride from home out around the Lake and back. Its gets dark pretty quickly these days, especially with heavy cloud cover.
