Orienteering 58:49 [3] 7.04 km (8:21 / km) +250m 7:06 / km

Tricky little course, got stuck in a lot of green at number 4 pretty much impenetrable but i penetrated it.Although it was a lot quicker to go around. Small miss to 5 maybe better to take left routechoice as well. Big miss at 10 got distracted by the girls who were lower than me and came off my line which was the correct line relocated off 7 and then back to it. Better to the finish. Taking a bit more time to plan.

Very sandy and bushy area.

Great session to finish the week, felt like my orienteering was really good on some legs!A few shitty legs still but not so many. Progress, surprised the legs felt so good after a really heavy week.

Orienteering 22:49 [4] 4.7 km (4:51 / km) +100m 4:23 / km

Spanish sprint; lots of alleyways etc.
Happy with this. Major time loss was not my fault, alleyway was closed and wall which should of been mapped as light grey not a forest wall so went all the way around on two routes.

Orienteering 54:27 [4] 9.4 km (5:48 / km) +141m 5:23 / km

1st Leg Mass start training

Generally good to start with, as the course went on and my map started to disintegrate more, my orienteering got more scrappy and I made a big mistake towards the end. Relocated better than I normally do though, instead of running in circles. Orienteering felt a little rushed at times and a few improper plans led to a few misses when I was just ahead of the pack.

came in 4th, 3 mins after Nixon and Sasha. Me and Chris went to the wrong control so disqualified ourselves. Good to put my technique under pressure, will be good to analyse later.

11 AM

Running 6:00 [1] 1.0 km (6:00 / km)

4 PM

Running 7:30 [1] 1.6 km (4:41 / km)

Orienteering 50:00 [3] 8.0 km (6:15 / km) +48m 6:04 / km

Contour only without Compass.

Went pretty good, not running hard just focusing on contour detail as goes the name of the course. Things got interesting when there was a leg through a very vague area to control no.8 but managed to nail it. Two mistakes one not too bothered about, went straight into the control circle but where the pit was there was loads of bushes and I end up circling around until I found it. 17 was with Cat and made a maybe two minute mistake should just of used the tops of the hill to attack, maybe a little safer.
