was running ok a bit slow on the hills made a 2 min wobble on 7 by not following my position on the map. was a really good run until the last 2 controls before we got into the fields where i ended up losing about 5 mins by just not concentrating . i have most certainley learnt my lesson though as it put me down to 18th place which means i didnt have any good selection races :( ahh well always next year

jk day 2 tyrella south
had a reasonbly good first few controls through the big dunes. then made a big wobble on 5 coming out to far right and getting stuck in loads of undergrowth which cost me about 2 mins . after that i made lots of little wobbles costing me 30- 1 min at about 4 diffrent controls . didnt feel like i was having a good run and felt awful in the second half once the sun had come out and the terrain got really phsyical. came 4th in the end which is slightly disappointing but still funnily my best selection race.

Event: JK 2011

Orienteering (jk sprint) 15:59 [4] **** 2.9 km (5:31 / km) +45m 5:07 / km
spiked:20/24c slept:8.0 shoes: saucony jazz

JK sprint - stranmillis univirsity

pretty terrible run to be hounest just as i entered the -1 box it started tipping it down with rain which made the first section of the course very slippy :@ because of this i could never really get up to much speed in my trainers and i was very hesitant on steps . however i cant blame it all on the weather i lost 18 secs on 3 by overshooting a minute on 11 by going the wrong way by misinterpreting the buildings and had to take a long route about twice the lengh of the control to get round all the olive green . after that i just didnt feel like i was pushing myself hard enough . sped up a bit towards the last few controls which led to me making a 30 sec mistake on the penultamate control by reading the wrong description which really ******* me off .

time 15;59 10nth (winner 14: 22) will i ever do well at a selection race ?
