orienteering race 1:03:03 [5] 9.1 km (6:56 / km)

Ponta Umbria: Long race. Mistakes on controls 2,3 & 5. Hemoraged quite a lot of time and then almost clean how odd. Ignored extra path which caught out many better runners.
Will also be remembered as the event with the wet drain. I wonder if the orange artificial tan will ever go?
Best event since...........well some time WM in Germany?

Punta Umbria, Sprint race- wheels needed to come off sometime. Virtually last start. Lost concentration and got completely lost. Also went wrong on way back. Really quite straight forward and most lost no time. Just about dead last hey ho

After flight expecting to train but no there was a race. Camping La Botha
