Couldnt give it 100% with the ankle/foot pain so tried to orienteer right. First 9 were easy and at 9 was a minute down on Speakey. The woods were underused, and I screwed up 15 royally despite having an AP within 50 metres. Still not sure how I managed it. Map was bobbins at 16, hit next 2 well, then started meandering and cocked up 20 royally. To add insult to stupidity, the last little wooded section was frankly, a joke as it badly mapped and controls were in the wrong place. Not impressed.
Results gave me 2nd once voided the last 4 controls, and took 2nd overall. Not really bothered, enjoyed the week mostly.

Lakes Day 4. Lovely day, and fell running kit on. Game on. Immediately forgot I was orienteering and was over a minute down by number 2. Jesus. Got my act together and ran well after wobbling on 4. After that orienteering and running smoothly. Until half a mile from the end, twisted my ankle quite badly - same one I did at TWA. Hobbled to the finish through the last few controls and managed to take the win from Speakey which was a nice surprise.

Pissed off with yesterday so promised myself that even if I couldnt orienteer I would be aggressive and throw myself at some trees. Scratches etc afterwards proved I achieved this. I also managed to orienteer in patches.
At 9 i was less than 40 seconds behind Speakey then completely fucked 10. Map was nonsensical to be honest, but totally missed it regardless and binned 2 and a half minutes. Also knobbed up 18by a good minute, where, again, the less said about the map the better (though I wouldve been better served having a better plan of attack than heading for the windblow). Also lost time on 24 with a pap route. Still moving well at the end, still not trusting the map but at least I found some controls quickly today in spots.
2nd, 6 and a half down on Speakey.

Middle distance, and true to history on middle races, I was shite. My total lack of orienteering was exposed rather nicely.
Lost a solid minute on 5, 14 and 22 and lots of 10-20 second wobbles. Pants.
9th, didn't even win a leg. Pathetic, pushed about by the forest.

And wet it was. Straightforward course, basically a repeated exercise of get head up, spot lump the control was on/next to and run to it, and then read the map again. No big errors, just not got much flow. 2nd, couple of minutes behind Speakey, just ahead of Jamie Parkinson, miles ahead of everyone else.
