Orienteering race 1:02:21 [4] 11.4 km (5:28 / km) +320m 4:48 / km
Day 6 - Coulmony and Belivat
Thought I was going to hate it when the first few controls were entirely in marsh, but I actually ended up really enjoying the race. Made a couple of silly mistakes due to being massively knackered, but ended the week in 10th (4th British) which I am mega pleased about :) Even managed to sneak ahead of some GB girls again.
Now to let my giant ankle return to a vaguely normal size!

Day 5 - Roseisle
Enjoyed today sooooo much more! Just feeling knackered and made some stupid mistakes near the end of the course - no idea how I will make it round tomorrow!! I think 3 solid weeks of orienteering may finally have caught up with me ;)
The ankle wasn't so bad, just a bit twingey and achy sometimes - but wrecked my knee again today. I am such a disaster.

Day 4 - Loch of Boath
Omg I hated this area. Had such a bad attitude the whole way round but having to wake up the controls and be the first into the bracken is not fun. Walked quite a lot of it which is really bad but my legs would just not go. Was just generally too tough underfoot and too easy technically for me - need to work on my terrain fitness big style.
Also knackered my ankle pretty badly, so not sure how that will hold out these last two days.

Orienteering race 16:07 [4] 3.1 km (5:12 / km) +25m 5:00 / km
Sprint Race at Lossiemouth. Loved it :)
Made a mess of the quarry but was only 10 seconds behind some of the GB euromeeting girls so I'm pretty pleased.

Day 3 - Culbin
Feeling exhausted now, but had another clean run - feel like I'm almost waiting for the mistake to happen but it's all holding together. These sandune areas definitely suit my orienteering much more than the tougher, hilly areas.

Day 2 - Carse of Ardersier
Had another good run. Didn't really have any mistakes at all, a few hesitations but pretty much perfect. Just not fit enough to keep a high pace the whole way round and had to have a cheeky walk near the end. Enjoyed it and really pleased that my navigation is holding together and that I am remembering to have a plan and look up :)
