Orienteering race (WOC Relay) 52:00 [5] 6.0 km (8:40 / km)
I don't think I've fully come to terms with what happened, but it was an embarrassing way to end my WOC career. Finally made the relay team after running cleanly in all races that mattered this year, but had an absolute disaster at the first 2 controls.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)

Orienteering race (WOC Middle Final) 45:00 [5] 6.0 km (7:30 / km)
31st place. A similar performance (average - not great, not bad) to my previous 26th's, but probably a slightly stronger field this year. Dropped some time on the long leg and on #10, but did well to ignore Jarkko who'd caught me and then spannered up. It was great forest and a good course, but it was tough - hot, hilly and technical. Felt like I'm not tough enough.
Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)

Orienteering 35:00 [2] 4.0 km (8:45 / km)
Relay model - looked nice on the map but in reality it was quite bushy and hard to tell what was what. If the actual relay is planned like this, it'll be pretty nuts...

Running 1:10:00 [3] 13.0 km (5:23 / km)
Between watching the sprint qualifier and final, I nipped out for a run from the apartments in Aix up quite a bit hill on the edge of town. Wouldn't say I felt great, but not too bad. Good to do a decent length run without having to stop hundreds of times to understand the map or negotiate the terrain!

Orienteering 53:00 [3] 7.0 km (7:34 / km)
Ran one of the entry-on-the-day WOC tour races on the qualification areas. Took it quite steady and felt ok. No mistakes as such, but took some very bad lines in the forest over the first few controls, losing 3 or 4mins in total - something to learn there. Then went out into the open bit which was quite nice and easy to run.
