British sprint championships qualifier - 1st.
Enjoy these qualifiers. I ran ehar the whole way as it struck me that the course was very straightforward. I made two mistakes of maybe 7-10 seconds. On 3 I got confused after passing the unmarked construction and on 14(?) I started to go straight and then wimped out and went around. 1 second ahead of Peter who also tried quite hard.

British sprint championships final - 1st.
Weird control description for number 1 so I knew it was on the bottom right away. Lost 10 seconds to Shmint on 2 going right instead of left (to me it didn't/doesn't look like that much of a difference between the two). Good through 3 and 4 but then ran up to 5 looked down the hill and saw nothing. Double checked the map, no I'm definitely right. Double checked the control description, no I'm definitely right. The control was tucked away in the bush and I just didn't see it. I lost 15 seconds here, which felt like an age. Went right on 6 which again turned out to be slower but from then on I was good. I knew I'd messed up at the beginning and knew I had to get it right to salvage anything. I was 24 seconds behind the lead at 6 but I only dropped 1 second to the fastest splits from 6 to the finish and managed to take the win. Really pleased.
Cool area to run around but both courses were quite easy. The middle bit of the final was probably the best Orienteering today.
