Had an entry to Inverness 10km but decided against it - didn't fancy the drive as much as anything.

Note
3 am (GMT) start to fly back to Edinburgh - back in work for 9.
The idea behind the World Cups was figuring out how good I could get with three weeks of focus on orienteering. I was pretty fit after the summer and so I didn't worry about improving that, just ticking over. I wanted to try to focus on the technical and mental side of things. I don't generally do World Cups - this was only my third set of World Cups ever - but it was a good opportunity to challenge myself and also experience the knockout sprint for the first time.
The orienteering seemed to come back pretty quickly. Reading a map felt a bit unfamiliar at first but the long line courses and taking a map on easy runs seemed to help on that front.
The lapse in the knockout final was an obvious error but there were a few other occasions where I came close to a big mistake. I'm quite happy that I managed to save myself (mostly) as I didn't feel like I had the self awareness at the British champs to know if I was close to a mistake or not. Understanding this sweet spot could probably do with more work.
I also felt much better when I could focus on myself. I managed to do this in the quarter final but later on in the competition I was thinking about others more and I don't think my orienteering copied well with these added thoughts.
Very happy that I can get back to a high level quickly after a long break and it's good to know what could be better with more practise. I won't be doing a three week build to WOC.
