Controlling 2:00:00 [2] 5.0 km (24:00 / km)
Checking flags
Knew ankle could be an issue (it was) so started early.
I did not enjoy my involvement with this race, I did not have the ocean of time it would have required or was remotely happy with the result.

A really bad day.
Broke the news to the team at work which proved difficult and emotional. both the girls cried the blokes looked confused. Still don't know whats happening. Then checking sites and cutting bracken and getting soaked. Tweaked ankle badly on the Round Hill. But no alternative than to keep going. Left after 9 as darkness fell

orienteering race 1:43:00 [5] 9.3 km (11:05 / km)
Kenfig dues -really nice new area and very enjoyable race. Really only major difficulty where I went to the right of the line through the terrain whereas to stay on the tracks to the left would have been minutes faster. Also lost a couple at 14 where ran rather than read the map.
I imagine it was a joy to plan or control on this area

orienteering 2:24:10 [5] 3.8 km (37:56 / km)
La Guilaumand, chasing start -decided to go for it. Running leg to start with caught 1 min man but could nor find flag -might have been a bit unfair. Badly overshot 2 following 2 min mam. Careful into 3 but miss read map -then followed others. Unsure of location went out and found flag on second attempt -35 mins - found next few them another running leg -found fence (unmarked) assumed completely wrong actually right followed others, could not sort out. Very, very hot so walked back -eventually 55 mins new where I was so finished race.
Quite distressed with de- hydration / heat.
Enjoyed running here but really need to think about tactics and be patient and tolerant of not right first time

orienteering race 1:01:53 [5] 4.9 km (12:38 / km)
La Figoyrol -not sure if this is really orienteering -too many controls in green that a bit of a treasure hunt but a wonderful location and hugely enjoyable whatever it actually was....would have preferred to do M55 or M50 but apparently not possible.
12th today winner 51.31. 2-3 2 mins went to re-entrant but not sure so went away and came back. 6-7 3 mins attacked from top took wrong elephant track and had to repeat -smart folk probably came from below? 7-8 too far right but recovered quickly
Very hot
