Orienteering 25:00 [5]
JK relay
Not too happy with myself, made a 30s mistake at no4 then the course was basically a run back with only 2-3 controls that made me think like I an orienteer. But it was still quite fun.
Unfortunately disqualified on first leg.
We finished 4th and its worth thinking about because Cherry ran past the control on the bridge (that he mispunched) so didn't actually gain anytime missing a control out.
I feel I could have done better and gave Matt more of a gap in last leg, I lost 35-40secs that I could have easily saved. I make mistakes save as everyone so I don't mean I should have run perfectly, but even if those mistakes wer halfed I think an extra 20secs would have really helped matt on last leg.
But 4th is a good result (if we got it). The race was fun and looking forward to next year!!

JK long
This was a good indication that my shape is ok, this terrain was much too fast for me at the moment but I kept quite a high effort level for most of the course. Definitely felt I was trying to race.
But my orienteering was poor. I really struggled with the map, I felt really uncomfortable on a bad map and wasn't sure what to do, had a chat with Matt after and came to some sort of conclusion that if you want to run well on poor maps you need to practice on poor maps. The was even a point where I thought "how much orienteering can I do with out looking at the map?" Haha.

Jk middle
Ran alright to pretty average, 2nd lad to finish our course and tracked up so the results probably not totally fair?? But my performance is what I'm really looking at.
Jk should have 2 elite classed. Although I would have been in elite 2 at least it would have been fair
