Orienteering race 31:51 [3]
Passau sprint.
Any prospect that the course leader might not be good at sprints was despatched when I turned at the first control, a long and simple leg, to see him approaching from a minute back. Fairly clean after that until the last two, then goofed at 16... Followed plan perfectly, then inexplicably cut out to the road instead of the control. Then, hadn't planned the crucial route choice to 17, and miss read a narrow alley with a thin line on the end, not thick... So by 17 Arne was back in sight, and he pretty well caught me on the long run to the finish.
If he looked a bit more like an athlete and a bit less like Father Christmas I wouldn't mind so much.

Orienteering race 34:19 [3] 3.4 mi (10:06 / mi)
Bavarian 5 day 2.
Middle distance in rocky forest. Written off today before starting, but turned out to be granite with big rocks and clean underfoot. Trundled round slowly more or less straight, aside from one big round route choice. Mainly dull middle stuff, but a couple of longer legs required thought.
Won by 3.5 mins. Hmm

Orienteering 1:01:39 [3] 5.7 mi (10:49 / mi)
Bavarian 5 day 1.
Started well in a low Vis, steep forest with lots of rides on the maps and, well, not so much on the ground. Then got off line and saw a deer, which should have been a clue. Relocated, but 6 still failed to appear, and round and round I went for a six minute error. Some further misses later on felt inevitable given the terrain, and an unexpected crash in energy, due to lack of dinner or sleep last night. Hopefully.

Final sprintelope at Astley Ainslie, thanks to William Ivory. 9/42 with a big local knowledge advantage! Nice evening, nice running. James looked pretty good when he came by, cruising for the win, with Robbie Kennedy in hot pursuit.

Note
Not DQed.
The case for me getting DQed tonight is pretty cast-iron, since I preran the course and made the map. Just like last year's final. The only trouble being, we agreed that if you couldn't run the last race due to being an official, you got double points from another event. With the strong field tonight, a DQ would have propelled me to overall victory. Ooops.
Better think that one through for next year.
