Orienteering race 47:44 [4] *** 3.78 km (12:39 / km) +120m 10:55 / km
spiked:15/15c
S6D Day 2 - Strathfarrar
Looking forward to this course as friend Martin Wilson planned the course. A decent uphill trek to start. As in later start block, the braken in places had been well beaten down and with recent wet weather the elephant trails very boggy and wet. 2-3 I took the road option, though Martin later said the direct route was quicker. Lost time as cut in too early and initially went to a parallel hill. Control 5 I had issues in the circle as the crag is shown higher up than actual one with control and there was a crag I the location shown on map. Frustrated, but onward. Clean through 9. At 10 was initially higher up the hill, but pretty quickly realized and dropped down into control. Control 11 there were a lot more boulders within circle so lost about a minute here. Dumb mistake to 12 as right on track until last 100m and got pulled to right and too far down hill. Just a slow boggy run to 13. Enjoyed the course.

Orienteering race 1:01:37 [4] *** 4.9 km (12:34 / km) +100m 11:25 / km
spiked:14/14c
S6D Day 1: Achagour
Enjoyed the first 7 controls with a focus on contour reading. Frustrated that my foot (planar fasciitis) was limiting my running ability. Struggled with the first control getting into the map. Struggled a bit around the circle at number 8. 9, 10 and 11 were pretty straight forward. My big mistake was number 12 within the plantation area. Blew my distance estimation on the ride as didn't go nearly as far as thought. Contours in the plantation area hard to read so no real relocation point. Lost a good 8 minutes. Bummer, but such is life and the important thing this week is to have fun and support Alison and the U.S. Team at the World Orienteering Champs.
