1st Qual, made big mikstake to 5 - went right (prob should have gone left?) then got stuck behind a (what I thought) impassable fence, so went around instead of over it. Maybe lost 30secs here, and a bit on another control. NOt too bad in the labyrinth though.
Orienteering race (Ultrasprint QualB) 5:48 [5] ***** 0.92 km (6:18 / km)

Clean, apart from 2nd time through the labyrinth, messed up the 2nd of the controls.
Orienteering race (Ultrasprint QualC) 5:40 [5] ***** 0.88 km (6:26 / km)

Ran past the feature and dived in a bit early on 2 of the controls, but otherwise OK.
Warm up/down warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Between qual and semi.
All the qualis were done in about 25mins as was on the start for the rest. Pleased to get to the A final in 11th, just behind Faz (courtesy of my A cockup)

So, in the 2nd lot off, and with Bryn, Faz and Josh. Behind the latter 2 out of the Labyrinth, and Bryn managed to catch up the time he'd lost after the 1st butterfly-loop. No mistakes to speak of, but was flagging a bit, but still running quite quick. Passed Faz (then ran into the sharp end of a branch) and was within sight of Josh in the Labyrinth but was a bit too hesitant to take back the few seconds. However, courtesy of Mispunching I won our little heat of 4, finishing =9th (with Jenny).
Not too bad a performance over the day, can do a better though ;) Finals were exciting, especially the race for 2nd in the woman's!
