Digley. Was going to do 70 minutes but felt absolutely terrible and calves were so stiff I was basically limping up my road at the end... Actually out for nearly 50 minutes(?!) but that includes three stops to try and stretch out

Orienteering race 1:07:24 [4] **** 5.2 km (12:58 / km)
spiked:9/11c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Day 5. 4.9km. Navigation good which was nice. Although the over 100m climb to the first control kind of killed me off... Bad route to #8 as a I didn't look at the left route. Ended up with no proper attack point and veered off line, finding 3 other controls before mine. #9 was a tricky leg straight down a steep slope to a boulder and I was too far left and ended up climbing back up to it.

Ended up 20th overall, after starting 19th today. I was in the top 15 before my disaster of a middle race though :(

Orienteering race 48:03 [4] **** 4.44 km (10:49 / km)
spiked:9/14c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Day 4 - Middle. 3.4km. Complete disaster on #6. I was following where I was the whole way but must've drifted to the right and ended up wandering for ages not knowing where I was. Eventually, I went back a bit and found myself on a hill where I was pretty sure I knew where I was. I then saw the girl who started 4 mins behind me run past so I decided to follow her into the control... After that everything was alright, just a few misses due to bad direction.

Orienteering race 1:04:00 [4] **** 5.94 km (10:46 / km)
spiked:9/13c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Day 3. 5km. Saw #1 but didn't think it was my control so ran off before coming back 30 seconds later-.- Next lot were great, just slow due to my calves playing up and deciding to be sooooo stiff. They eased up after the road crossing (#8) but my navigational abilities seemed to cease. Missed #9 by a considerable amount, was miles too far left of #11 and I just forgot to navigate to #12... Go me.

Raining for most of the day -.-

Orienteering race 1:03:31 [4] **** 6.52 km (9:45 / km)
spiked:6/10c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Day 2. 4.9km. Similar time to yesterday but the area was less technical so everyone else was faster, meaning I ended up much further down. Didn't follow my compass to #1 and #2 so lost quite a bit of time. Caught up my 4 and 8 minute people just before #8 and I stupidly allowed myself to get distracted by them and ended up circling in the wrong area before getting my head together and relocating. Annoyed with myself, I then ran off in the wrong direction to #9 and lost more time. Idiot. Really frustrating.

Event: O-Ringen 2015

Orienteering race 1:03:05 [4] ***** 6.31 km (10:00 / km)
spiked:5/8c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Day 1. 5.2km straight line. Took a while to get used to 1:15 map scale at first and also the long legs. I took my time finding #1 which was in a very vague area but managed not to panic and relocated quite quickly. Same with #2; I got dragged right a bit but easily relocated off a big crag. Slight miss on #3 but after that everything was great! Finished 8th/about 60.

Orienteering 1:01:00 [1] 4.14 km (14:44 / km)
10c shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212

Arrived in Sweden about 9:30am. Put our tent up on the gravel pit that was the O-Ringen campsite, had lunch and went training. Area called Rydboholm. Planned myself a course, but after getting lost for a while on the first control I decided to make it a bit shorter and walk for the rest of it. Was still pretty rubbish for the next few, even at such a slow pace. Navigation did improve throughout fortunately.
