Orienteering race 1:19:21 [5] 12.0 km (6:37 / km) +500m 5:28 / km
JK Long 5th
Yet again focused and calm at the start. Basically could of been one of my best long distance races ever, was really flying and nailing the nav.Caught up two min man Jan Brunner and Josh Dudley. But really messed up the long leg! Plan was to take the top route, I didn't really consider the bottom leg I think because from the geeking I did I never planned a long leg that had a control really near the bottom of the slope hence I always had it in my head I would take the top route if was a big leg across the slope. However I did not execute this route at all well even if it wasn't the fastest, I missed the crossing point I wanted so had to take a different one this change in plan threw me off. Being with the two lads I caught up it was a bit of a rush coming down the slope and I was not sure of my location and doing that in Bigland is always destined for big time loss. When I finally relocated i gave it absolutely everything to gain some time back caught back up Jan at 16 and managed to take the next few controls ahead of him but was too tired in the end to push ahead and he got me to the finish by some seconds.
Really disappointed at the finish because of being so obnoxious of the Long leg, I guess I can only learn from it and just be more careful with planning of long legs in races in the future and not rule out options without even looking at them properly.
However really happy to take SILVER for the overall JK champs.Chuffed!

Orienteering 39:59 [5] 6.0 km (6:40 / km) +200m 5:43 / km
JK Middle. 3rd (2nd Brit)
Really focused for this race. Really happy with how it went, a great feeling of satisfaction at the finish line, absolutely loved it out there, this is what orienteering is all about!
One small miss on 5 of maybe 20s and then lost another 15 seconds going to the crossing point, followed the wrong stream up. Another small time loss going to the crossing point off the fell had to climb a bit up to it. Really in control on the tricky slope and spiked everything really well.

JK Sprint 6th
Solid enough. One wrong route, very very slippy out on the concrete. felt a little out of control and count three times i was probably unsure of my position each loosing about 5-10 seconds.

Orienteering 12:57 [3] 3.11 km (4:10 / km) +15m 4:04 / km
Sprint around campus. Picked the worst time to do this, was quite cloudy and it wasn't raining when I looked out the window but as soon as I started massive blizzard of sleet/hail came upon me, barely could see the map to number 1 hence missing a slightly shorter route. Nav felt better than last time I did a sprint, need to stay a little bit more ahead of myself and know my exits better.

Note
(rest day)
Taper time.
This weekend just come was really positive and can take quite some confidence out of it, felt like the last 5/6 weeks have gone very much to plan.
