Fun ride with Nat. Tracks getting really rocky. Feeling ok to start but tired by the end.
A really nice morning out after a chilly start.

Given how much I really wanted to run on this map and that Noel was setting I should have pulled my socks up today but failed miserably! Head again not in it and already getting into catching up on things left undone by a week away... was going reasonably (falling a lot and a little scrappy, bit ok) until10. Lost a lot of time here, did not see control on first approach, saw another and misidentified it’s feature so then corrected into vague area. Decided to cut losses and start again from the round (amateur hoir!). Got to same place as first time. This time stuck to guns and eventually saw flag. Then ran off in wrong direction to lose further big time on next control. Knew it was all over then so was not pushing well through easy shot legs. Capped off the day by not seeing last control, heading wrong direction and nearly taking out Tara Sutherland who was. Running directly at the control. Lucky she had more momentum to my weary aytack and we both stayed upright!

Not happy with today’s run. Head not in gear. Without the mistakes I would still have been behind Kenny, but hopefully happier about the situation! Had trouble on 5 (poor route choice) 6 (ditto), 8 (missed control) and all that just left me flustered for rest of course. I think I too wrong route to 12 and 16...

Eoin and Aoife had both finished and secured their wins before I went out so the pressure was on! Aoife had even totally lost her 20 second lead before regaining it with a few spectators watching it all unfold from afar... so, I wanted to be solid but not spectacular today (lofty ambitions!). Slow And steady as far as 5 but Misread map to 6 And stopped way too early ( on a short leg). Was then nervous and uncertain through to 8, even 9. For the dangerous 10 fine, a bit low on 12 and then, 13! Really
Lost Control there and was too high. Got Within sight of Last Control andCrowd but still had to get the second last! Lucky I had a decent lead from previous days. Love Umuna!

Had a lot of fun today but never really felt in control. Probably that was a good thing as I was cautious the whole way around. Worst time losses probably 1, 5 and 9. Did not see easy fast route to 10 but was happy with how I ran through the terrain and detail to it.

Orienteering 19:34 [3] 2.67 km (7:20 / km) +30m 6:57 / km
shoes: Kayano - narrow ones
Quite a challenging area that suited me, but had a lot of trouble reading the detail. Went safe ways when there were options just to be sure. Problems were 8 where I ran to the top of the underpass, 10 did not read descriptions properly and went up stairs not down, 13 I did not realise the circle was in the Lowe level and was looking up top. After map flip I got a bit frazzled and really mucked up 16. Ran to wrong building. Not too bad from there. A few hesitations here and there though...

shoes: Kayano - narrow ones
Badly let the team down today but I stil claim I was not directly at fault :) Number 1 apparently did not register on my stick. Not the cleanest or fastest of runs. Got a bit confused at 4. Was having trouble reading detail exiting 6. I thought there was a path around the building g but that ran out, then followed a boy before looking at map. Realised d just rolling through OOB so backtracked and went around - lost a bit of time there! All ok from there. Slowing down as Rome and distance wore on.

A quick run around the kids training course at Bruce Ridge. I am hopeless at holding a line there.
Quite happy to get out after hurting my back yesterday. We had a ton of firewood to cart down the driveway and stack. Getting ready for winter.... glad I am banned from chopping.

My love-hate relationship with Badja continues. Took a poor micro- route choice 3-4 and ended up stranded on a steep slope. Ended up descending very slowly (wrong shoe choice today) before finishing the leg badly. No real problems out there, but. Few inefficient routes and also vague moments. Happy to make it less than an hour but only just got there. Think I should have done the longer course as Eoin did, it seems to cover a bit nicer terrain. Looking at H1 that also went through some better sections. Need to be braver in choosing courses!

Went to check potential start locations. Got a must take call at the critical moment of course. Nice to be outside for the discussion at least :)

Nice run around Black Mountain and then home after the start scoping. A beautiful time to be out in the middle of the day, overdressed after being stuck sitting still for the morning.
