1st
They saved the best area till last. This was so much fun!
Was very slow through the first 2 controls, struggling to run as it was so rocky and slippery. Then missed a track junction to 3 and ended up clambouring through some green to get to the second track.
So didn't feel like the best of starts so was very surprised to catch sight of Zlata exiting 6 as I was coming into it. I knew that I was about 2mins behind her in the overall standings and she'd started 2mins ahead of me today, so the challenge was on!
Pushed hard along the tracks to 7 and managed to catch her just as we reached the control. Took different routes to 8 and I got a bit of a gap . 9 was a tricky control through green into a very detailed area, so took my time to get it right and not rush off just to stay ahead of Zlata. Had a bit more of a gap now, straightforward to 10 then gave it everything I had on the track to the last control as I couldn't remember exactly what the overall difference was.
Turns out I only needed to catch about 1.5mins so I ended up winning overall by 1min :) And won todays stage by 2.5mins. Nice end to the week!

1st
Yippee back in my comfort zone! Fun little sprint around Cerkno village. Was actually quite tricky in places with the tight alleyways. Took the wrong route on the long leg to 13 but luckily all the other top runner did also. Got a bit behind in the nav coming into the tricky area on the 2nd loop but managed to stay in front for a 9sec victory.
Tim won also so nice double victory for the Robertsons and Jonny 2nd so good day out. :)

5th
This was so much fun! Finally some nice runnable forest (well when the hills weren't horrendously steep anyway...)
Caught the chairlift up to the arena at the top of a ski field (1200m). Could hear thunder beginning to rumble just as I was about to start. 1 was a scary downhill leg through scattered trees which I took quite carefully, making sure not to drop too low. Hit it almost perfectly though so good start. As a result, I hadn't planned 2 at all and spent a long time faffing about before realising I was being stupid trying to go straight and opted for the track route that went most of the way to the control. Was a fun little technical area from 2-5 and made sure to take it carefully. Caught sight of Immy (2mins) and Tessa at 4. Took a gel climbing out of 5 then was running with Immy on the long leg to 6 until she decided to drop through the forest and go right instead. Had no idea if I was ahead or not then took the bad left route to 8 and was certain she would have got ahead. Got a bit of a second wind after the drinks stop at 9, then the thunderstorm hit just as I was approaching 10 and got absolutely drenched. Was loving it!
Finished 1st in w21e, but 5th out of the SEEOC people. Really enjoyed this. Temperature drop definitely helped and enjoyed running through much nicer forest.

11th
Enjoyed this up to 9 when the heat got to me and completely hit the wall. Last loop was an absolute struggle with dizziness and just wanted to finish so I could get water. Forest even grottier than yesterday...makes Latvia forests seem beautiful now!
Was surprised to catch sight of Immy already to the 1st control (2mins) then probably pushed a bit too hard through the next few controls trying to catch her. Never actually caught up and didn't see her again after 4.
Fine through until 10 when I completely missed seeing the obvious track route to the right and decided to link up some tracks going straight. This was a terrible idea as the undergrowth was horrible and ended up bashing about for ages.
Then completely lost it on 13 when I went the wrong direction out of the control and ended up at the open clearing.

8th
When I signed up for this I thought it was going to be beautiful karst terrain like Alpe Adria a few years ago. But this was super grotty forest with lots of rock and felling. Didn't really enjoy any of the course to be honest. Lots of mistakes...bigger ones at 1 (didn't see flag), 9 and 12 (bad compass direction). Absolutely melting in the heat as well which didn't help. Hit the wall about 6 controls in.
