British Middle - 4th
My watch froze at 11:13 this morning which wasn't particularly useful but at least I realised about 12 that it was telling the wrong time!
Another mixed race. Ran hard and generally the o was good although it didn't always feel smooth, particularly at the start. Lost at least 30s on number 4 - got dragged off line going through the previous block of wood - obviously wasn't following my compass well enough. Also lost time on 2 - didn't take a very good line and got stuck in fallen tree bits. A really fast area that wasn't particularly tricky and the course wasn't very inspiring. Annoyed to have thrown away time. Just didn't feel very sharp and didn't have the fun o feeling I had in portugal when i was running well. Impressive run by Claire to take the lead by 1:30!

lots of jogging around and drills before and after each race

Sprint qualifier - 3rd.
Really enjoyed the first half but not so good in the second part which was more about running. Took most of the right routes.
2 PM

Orienteering 16:00 [4] 2.98 km (5:22 / km) +55m 4:55 / km
slept:9.0 shoes: NB800

Sprint final - 6th.
Mixed feelings about this run. Started off well but then got totally flustered at number 9 when the control wasn't there. Realised that it had been thrown by the hedge about 25m from where it should have been so punched and ran on (caught Bex up here and she very nobley put the control back where it should have been - I wasn't that nice!) but missed my planned route as I started in the wrong place. Lost ~16s in total between the two. Took a bad route to 12 losing another 5 seconds. Other than that it was good but I lost time at the end as I just didn't have the speed in my legs to power up the hills. Not surprising given that my winter hasn't gone to plan. I know the speed endurance will come over the next few weeks but frustrating all the same. Good to see Hollie on top of the podium!
