Orienteering race 40:00 [4] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
SHI relay.. First leg.
Really tired from the day before but it started off at quite a steady pace so was all ok, just stuck in there making sure I was going to the right gaffles. Had a longer one at 4 and missed 5 slightly so was a little bit down in the train when I got to 6. (The one after 5 and before 7 for anyone who was unsure of this...) But slowly gained places on the next few legs. Was just behind Hector going into 10 and 11 but then he pulled out a little bit on the next couple and then him and Doug went flying off over the shit limestone pavement with me and ralph left slipping and sliding and falling all over the place. Then was with Ralph, who had done the best job of following me the whole way round and beat him into the finish. Overall think I ran as best I could. Terrian running muscles were dead from yesterday so was losing time on all the really tough bits but otherwise pleased.

Orienteering race 1:40:00 [4] 15.0 km (6:40 / km) +400m 5:53 / km
SHI Individual.
Moved up to 21 so that wales could at least fill all the team spots, but did mean it was a looong course.
In terms of how it went, I'm pretty happy. Started off strong but then lost 4 mins on 5 (about 25mins into the course) and lost all momentum I'd gained. Saw Duncan Archer here and pulled away from him on the next few controls to the forest. Then the shit bit in the forest. Then when I reemerged into the oen he was right behind me again. Played to my strengths and kept infront of him by avoiding the heather untill we turned back to the forest where we both made the same mistake and he was quicker than me getting it (+45). Then made another mistakee just before entering the forest again (+30) but managed somehow to catch him back up on the long leg and get infront again, which I just managed to keep till the finish. Really could have done with it being 2/3s of the distance as at the moment I'm not fit enough to race this far. Pleased I did it though and pleased that I'm reasonably well up there.

Note
Travelling to Ireland today...
Haven't had a decent nights sleep in a week as I keep coughing at night. Feel ok in the day, just a mild cold but at night its shit. Oh well, feeling rested from not running at least.

Lots and lots of cycling back and fore... Bit annoyed I've got a lecture that means I miss circuits.
