Orienteering 50:00 [3]
JEC relay.
Start was a bit crazy but after 200m found myself in the first group at an alright pace. Big split halfway to the first control where pretty much just me and two chechs ran our route. We did have a much higher gaffle though so it turned out good and was in 3rd just after the first one. Missed the second slightly and got stuck behind people punching but worked my way back slowly and was in 6th crossing the road after 5 controls. Kept this till the next gaffle where I found it amazingly and went into 1st. Kept it really steady up the hill as didn't really want to be in first at this point and dropped down to 3rd or 4th. Then the whole of our group made this massive 40-60 second mistake where we were too far into the green. Then saw ralph and shouted at him and the next few we had the same gaffles and were caning it past people. Hit the front again after this section but missed a control on a crag where I did a bit of ground to map and went too high. Still in first group though. From here to the end was clean but group kept on spreading as we had to wait to punch alot of controls. Ralph nipped past me just at the end and we finished in 8th and 9th about 20 seconds down. So in all exactly what was needed.
Poo boy then raced round and came in 8th and the sponge dog gained us 4 places to bring us in 4th. 3 really solid races.

Orienteering race 1:30:00 [5]
JEC long,
Star was up on this crazy rock formation... First control was really carefull, so careful I lost 40seconds to pooey. Then next one was easy and the missed my reentrant on the third and ended up two over. Lost 3/4 mins here and got caught. For the rest of the race I was racing this swiss guy but didn't see him much untill in the second bit of rocks since we both took different routes alot. Felt really good on all the hills aswell but a bit timid coming down them. Lost less than a minute on another couple of controls but no massive mistakes. Felt strong all the way to the end.

Event: JEC 2009
Orienteering race 30:00 [5]
JEC sprint.
Decided not to go out too hard in the forest bit so just kept it steady, came out of the forest and had some good controls but then came to a big routechoice where I took the middle route and lost 40 secs, because there wasn't a middle route there was a wall... shit. Rest of the race went well and pulled back a lot on poo boy but not so much on 1st and 2nd. So for most of the race I was one of the fastest out there and can take a bit of confidence from that but would have been nice to put it together for the whole race and not 95% of it.
