Brisk warm up to the start in Melrose, along the sunny River Tweed.
Orienteering race 17:18 [3] 3.23 km (5:21 / km)
Melrose sprint. A few minor hesitations but overall a clean run. 7th place.
Orienteering race 17:25 [3] 3.07 km (5:40 / km)
Tweedbank sprint. Pretty clean run again, a couple of borderline route choices including a slope with brambles but happy with 6th place and 6th place overall. Two enjoyable courses today.

Orienteering 52:53 [3] 7.63 km (6:56 / km) +135m 6:22 / km
Pollok SoSoL blue course. Feeling a bit tired but a solid run with only one 30s miss at #3 and slow through brambles to #6. Took a tumble en route to 13 and battered knee and elbow but kept going ok. Something went wrong at the start and SI air was not activated so also lost a bit of time there, so happy to still finish 6th. Dave R won in 43.

Orienteering 54:30 [3] 7.0 km (7:47 / km) +100m 7:16 / km
Scottish Night Champs at Pollok. 3rd M45. Almost clean run helped by local knowledge, apart from a minute lost over-shooting 18, although new highland cattle field added some new challenges, as did the rain and mud. Pleased to finish 3rd behind Fraser and Patrick. 1227 BOF ranking points!

Orienteering race 25:08 [3] 5.04 km (4:59 / km)
Broxburn urban (prologue). Really clean run! Went south to 2 which I think was smoother. 6 to 7 unsure if bridge in green was crossable so went north. Happy with all route choices. 7th MV just 6/7 seconds behind Messrs Ackland & McKendrick, about 20s ahead of Pat, and a decent lead over Walter and Steve for the chase.
Orienteering race 21:56 [3] 4.29 km (5:07 / km)
Broxburn & Uphall chasing sprint. John got away by 3 but close to Graeme until trying a clever route choice to 6 and losing 20s. Pat caught me here and had a good close race to 15. Then both Pat and John had meltdowns, Pat running past 16 and John making howlers at 17 and 18 under pressure. So got past both of them to finish 6th, not too far behind Graeme. Great fun.
