Running warm up/down 13:00 [3] 2.2 km (5:55 / km)
WU/WD with Louis
Orienteering race 26:11 [3] 4.54 km (5:46 / km)
JHIs Relays @ Bonskeid.
Looking forward to this after last week, however went and absolute torpedoed no.1, punching it in pretty much last. From this point it was a case of oxygen debt fuelled catch-up to the leaders. Caught Flurry at 5, had nearly made contact with Matt and Louis at 8 before I was dragged up the hill on a much longer gaffle.
Caught and overtook Jim and Joe after this and then occupied a tense no mans land of third place for the rest of the race.
Very scary navigating alone through a dark green plantation, being able to hear but not see the chasers.
Still, delivered the 1,2,3 once again, if not a bit further behind. Great runs from the team take 1,2,4 in the boys with Scotland taking the overall W- yassss lad!

WU/WD with Felix and Louis
Orienteering race 43:14 [3] 6.33 km (6:50 / km)
JHIs individual M16 5.6km @ Errochty.
Came 4th. Pretty decent race overall- good nav on the whole but feel like I have more to give on the hills. A bit of scrapping around in the technical section at the end.
Biggest mistake was the finish, where I lost +30seconds and a podium place (but at least it was to fellow Scot Louis). I understand you don’t have to tape a run in, but it just seems so unnecessary not to- what is gained from not? I know I wasn’t the only one who just switched into the run to the finish mindset. Highly annoying but also amusing as well. Anyway, rant over

Combined WU/WD
Running race 17:10 [3] 5.22 km (3:17 / km)
Scottish Schools Roads @ Falkirk Stadium- 13th.
Really tense and squashed first 500 with a lot of contact going on but survived and slipped nicely into the back of the chasing pack from the lone leader.
Dropped off at about half way but still had some fellow stragglers to fight the wind with.
Got a naughty 5k PB also, about time too. And turns out the winner is current European champion so not surprised no one finished within 200m of him!
