Orienteering race 1:09:53 [4] 9.4 mi (7:26 / mi)
M55 JK day3 13th St Leonards and Holmbush
Some very odd stuff at the start. a long run for -3 to -2 line, and some confusion there. "Is it a punching start?" No "When do we go then?" ? "Because were 12.42 and the clock says 12:42:15" Oh, you can go then...
And then a long run up a forest road mapped as a ride which was quite disconcerting trying to recall if there had been a kite. Tried to be uber careful to 1, but still took a turn onto a path under thered line, and faffed about a bit, losing maybe 2 mins. After that, played it fairly safe and was generally clean, lost a minute on a longish leg misreading the tracks when cutting a corner (oops). Otherwise, splits in the top 20 except the dead run at the end which slumped into the 40s despite going flat out and still being strong. Boo.
So generally OK. Not the most exciting area and disappointing run speed, but mistakes were my own.

Orienteering 52:33 [5] 6.4 mi (8:13 / mi)
JK day 1, M21E 74/80
Nice course at Ambersham, leading Interloper on elite;). Was going well until near the end - got tired and ran 14-16, -2mins, then compounded by an even bigger directional error at 17 stuck in an unnecessary marsh -3.5mins. Classic failure to calm down after the mistake. Sloppy.

Orienteering 16:53 [4] 2.2 mi (7:40 / mi)
Brunel, 12th
Set off in the direction of -1 runner ... found the triangle and went roud the back of the wrong building. 30sec in, further from number one than when I started ... game over. Maybe should have mapgeeked in a jayh kind of way.
Scrappy after that, not really on the pace.
