Kayaking race (Windermere) 1:27:48 [3] * 7.88 km (11:09 / km)
spiked:4/4c
Not too bad. Managed to keep a fairly consistent pace. Most teams got 4 or 5 controls and in the end we were a bit conservative and stuck with 4. Had we kept our pace we could have got the extra 5th control.
9/15 mixed pair
300 points (winner 420 points)
Mountain Running race (Rydal Fell) 1:26:46 [2] * 7.02 km (12:22 / km) +530m 8:58 / km
spiked:1/1c shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310 VI
Ruth's legs were pretty dead from Saturday's MTB and so this was tough going. Only 2 mixed pairs teams did the full horseshoe and so most were doing the shorter up and down route.
9/15 mixed pair
120 points (winner 365 points)
Note
Really fun event, a great weekend. A few mistakes here and there but nothing that would have really changed our overall position. Perhaps generally went a bit too hard on day one and should have saved a bit for stage 5.
Overall: 5/15 mixed pair

Cycle MTB warm up/down (Grassmere) 20:00 [2] 6.4 km (3:07 / km) +80m 2:56 / km
Mountain Running race (Grassmere Common) 2:08:48 [3] *** 12.52 km (10:17 / km) +700m 8:02 / km
spiked:8/9c shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310 VI
A good run. Missed the first control and lost ~5mins. From there picked a good although hilly route. Gambled a little near the end for an extra 25 points and came in 9 mins late and lost 30 so no disaster.
3/15 mixed pair
375 - 30 points (winner 400 points)
Cycle MTB warm up/down (Grassmere) 20:00 [2] 6.4 km (3:07 / km) +70m 2:58 / km
Cycle MTB race (Central Lakes) 4:55:35 [3] *** 54.98 km (5:23 / km) +940m 4:57 / km
spiked:13/14c
After a tricky (rocky) first couple we changed tactic to stick to roads where possible and this worked pretty well for the first 2/3rds of the race, picking up a lot of lower value controls. We got a bit distracted by the ferry crossing which cost us extra time and a longer route home and in the end no extra points. Probably could have only got 20-30 more though
12/15 mixed pair
190 points (winner 370 points)
Mountain Running (Loughrigg) 1:41:20 [3] *** 10.81 km (9:22 / km) +480m 7:40 / km
spiked:10/11c shoes: Inov8 Flyroc 310 V
Pretty tired to start with but once we got going we were flying on adrenaline. We were navigating well up until a control on a 'cairn'. It was ~90m from the location circled. Not ideal when you are searching for a small piece of (non-reflective) tape. We lost ~3mins here. Picked up over Loughrigg summit but with only a couple of km left Ruth's head torch went out. This slowed us down a lot and led to a missing a turning (+4mins) by a road near the end. Ended up 12mins late. Really annoying, but still a good result on the most fun stage.
3/15 mixed pair
375 - 55 points (winner 410 - 20 points)

Orienteering race (Hodgemoor) 49:48 [3] *** 6.0 km (8:18 / km) +50m 7:58 / km
spiked:10/12c shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340 II
L Knee - 1 - No pain
L Ankle - 3 - Twisted
TVOC Summer Series- Hodgemoor
Stupidly didn't tape ankle considering the dark and wet conditions and went over on it early on. Took it easier when off paths from then on.
