Orienteering race (JK middle distance M50L) 54:37 [4] *** 6.6 km (8:17 / km) +126m 7:33 / km
ahr:145 max:160 spiked:16/25c
Nominal 5.0km, 120m ascent
Nice area to run in (and well mapped), apart from the bogs which I got trapped in a couple of times.
Generally heading in the right direction, although: Around and about for #1, #4, #6. Overran #9 inamongst a million little pits and looped around, turned too early into the wrong copse for #11 and that's where I wasted most time, annoying. Distracted by paths for #12 and went too far R. Off the path too soon for #13. Pretty good for the last 10 controls (IMHO!). 86th is still not great, although I enjoyed this more than yesterday.

Orienteering race (JK sprint M50) 22:13 [4] ** 4.1 km (5:25 / km) +16m 5:19 / km
ahr:148 max:160 spiked:12/19c
Nominal 3.3k shortest route
Rather poor navigation for the first half - lost #4 inamongst the various buildings and then kept overrunning the damn controls, like a bull in a china shop. Trundled around the second half without much conviction. On previous "urban" form, a top-20 finish would've been likely, not 94th.

Chatting to M40 Stuart Ebbrell afterwards, he was showing me something that'd confused him after turning over his double-sided map and then I thought about the way he was holding it - always "north up". Going "track up" in a sprint doesn't work with a control every 40-50 seconds, I'm constantly turning the map and it's just confusing me. Back to north-up next time I think.

Orienteering race (TVOC pre-JK urban score) 43:42 [3] ** 8.33 km (5:15 / km)
ahr:138 max:152 spiked:20/16c
45-minute dumbbell score
Good fun, although I was never going to top the table on knackered legs (64km in the last 3 days), so trundled round bagging as many as I reasonably could. Made a couple of small errors that cost me time and got 8 dumbells of 10. It might *just* have been possible to get all of them with better planning (and fresh legs!).
