Orienteering race 46:59 [4] 5.0 km (9:24 / km) +230m 7:38 / km
shoes: VJ Bolds - Purple
World Cup Middle - Munkedal
Started out very hesitant on the first few controls, then made an error on the 3rd and could see the girl who started 2 mins behind me. Not sure what happened but a combination of planning the long leg and stressing over making a mistake and being caught meant that I didn't see the short leg to the 4th control and ran straight from 3 to 5. :(
Polish girl caught me back up again at 7 and basically ran the rest of the course with her, cos she was navigating a lot better than I was. Got a massive nose bleed at the end too, so just generally a rubbish day all round.

(sick) shoes: Inov8 F-lite 195 Blue 2
World Cup Sprint - Lysekil
Really enjoyed this race and was navigating really well. Only mistake was my route on the long leg to number 5, but couldn't see any other decent option at the time. Just not feeling quite at 100% running speed with being ill.
Finished in 26th place. Unfortunately the race got voided due to sport ident air issues :(

World Cup Sprint Relay - Fredriksten festning
Set off on 4th leg in a good position, at the back of a huge pack. Went okay until the 10th control when I went into oxygen debt, blacked out a bit and was too low for the control. Bumbled round the last loop not really able to read the map, then second to last control was put in the wrong place on a tree to the left of the track, not the right. And I had the code for the last control in my head so paused for quite a bit as i didn't think it was mine.
Finished in 18th place, 11th country.

Easy jog round the coastal bare rock with the boys. Feeling okay downhill but terrible uphill. Really struggling to breathe.

World Cup Long - Prestebakke
79th
Still feeling pretty ill so was struggling in the physical terrain. Affected my route choices a few times where I chose to link up the small tracks instead of taking a straighter option. Made a few errors, but in general was happy with the navigation.
Pleased to have finished though, and good terrain training for Woc long.

World Cup Model
Walked/jogged round the model event. Terrain is super physical with lots of blueberry bushes and other undergrowth so constantly having to lift your knees.
Feeling even worse than yesterday. Spent most of the day lying on the couch feeling miserable.
