Note
good weekend results were okay could have been better but still good to prove the pint. but should have been a minute quicker on te final few stupid mistakes but was running really well and strong, quick. and again on the middle strong running but few stupid mistakes some because of a few bingo controls and others my fault but still 6th on M18E so rather good and 4th on M18E in the sprint and a poor run things can only get better! :D will put more later
11 AM
Orienteering race 40:28 [5] ***** 7.59 km (5:20 / km)
spiked:18/27c shoes: Swoops
british middle champs
not a bad race but had a early start and think that could have helped with creating tracks though the marshes and tussucks which i was going fine though but i track would have made much quicker, wasnt a spot on clean run but was thinking i would have made a big mistake due to the nature of the terrian so was happy that, that didnt happen but there were a few bingo style controls such as 7,11,13,15,18 etc which were all little pits.
lost about 15s on 1 as was bit risky but bounced off 19 and nailed the control, lost 30 seconds on 2 just missed the little hole and was left looking, nailed 3, then caught alex up and got distracted and took a stupid route to 4 losing another 30 seconds. nailed 5 and 6. 7 was confussing with the map so lost 50 seconds and alex was back with me. nailed 8,9,10,11 and 12 and then 13 where i lost 30s with it being a bingo control pit which i must have run 5metres next two. nailed it to 14 then 15 was bit another funny pit losing another 30 seconds. dogdy route to 16 plus 20 17 was fine lost 30s 19 was fine and 20 then straight to 21 but lost 30 seconds when getting into the control slighty to far northeast. so lost around 4/5 and thats being nice could take it up to 6 minutes with small errors but was tricky and did well and 6th so ill take that still better to come
