Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite315
Orienteering race (Strensall Common) 37:55 5.5 km (6:54 / km)
ahr:176 max:185 spiked:15/22c shoes: Inov8 RocLite315
Was wary of how vague the mapped features seemed to be so started cautiously towards #1, yet ended up going via #15. Bit cleaner to the next two before being slower and cautious towards a tricky looking #4. Saw Kirsten was hot on my heels at the crossing before running on to see Sarah Haines just ahead of me. Aimed to catch Sarah before Kirsten caught me. I passed Sarah at #6 then Kirsten passed me at #9.
Kirsten was taking chunks out of me on the rough terrain to #10 but then missed the control. I didn't and ran the rest of the course without seeing anyone else. Rarely hit controls directly - usually got to the area and took a sharp left or right for the control itself. Silly miss at #14 and slow direct route to #15. Otherwise enjoyed the faster running of the final little loop, and satisfied with my result.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Inov8 RocLite315
Orienteering race (York Uni & the Retreat) 15:33 [5] *** 2.4 km (6:29 / km) +25m 6:10 / km
spiked:15/19c shoes: Inov8 RocLite315
Definitely had the legs to make the A final, but apparently not the head. On the relatively "easy" leg to #3 I was looking ahead and ran to the building corner on the wrong side of a long hedge than the control. Got back into the race until #15 when I just kept running along the back gardens until I hit the end and then went back to where the control actually was.
Bit disappointed really. Results
Orienteering race (York University) 11:30 [5] *** 1.9 km (6:03 / km) +15m 5:49 / km
spiked:16/17c shoes: Inov8 RocLite315
After watching the excitement from the A finals it was time for the rest of us to decide our places. I knew I was running well, so was just determined to keep the head for the entire course. This worked well. I was running with a male elite for the first few controls, had a slight miss to #7 but then caught sight of Aislinn when I approached #9. She soon disappeared but as I knew she was close I pushed hard to try reel her in and caught her at #15.
So I had a particularly clean run (1 blip) but I still didn't expect a win in such strong company. I'll take that.
