Orienteering race 1:11:22 [3]
Day 6 - middle distance. Tired today - struggling on the hills, and with a few of the controls. Tried to have decent attack points, but kept identifying the wrong feature as my attack point.... Got round eventually. Another rubbish run (37th)
Running warm up/down 10:00 [2]
Run to start - mainly downhill!

Day 5 - middle distance course. Started well, but just couldn't find number 4 - took me over 20 mins to do a 300m leg. Found it eventually, and pleased to get it sort of back together (but with another couple of decent mistakes) towards the end. Ended up taking some very round safe routes as struggling today. 79th - disaster! (course was only about 3km).

Orienteering race 1:19:15 [3]
Day 4 - Long course - luckily not the 50% longer that there had been rumours about. Didn't start great - made a 180 mistake from the start triangle... luckily I realised fairly quickly. However, I didn't see the safe route to number 1, and totally messed it up - took me 12 mins in total. Improved after that (racing Andrea for a couple but lost her on the hill), but still a wobble around 8. Ran as fast as I could through the down/flat bits (racing someone). Was struggling in the open in the heat through the boring fields/village at the end, but finished ok. 12th today, not bad as lost so much on 1.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2]
Very slow, very hot jog to start, with some walking...

Orienteering race 51:57 [3]
Day 3 - Crolles - very fun area - tough again, but different. Took some safe routes around, missed a path fairly near the end which cost a few minutes, but other than that a decent run. Got a bit lucky on one or two in the first half of the course though. 11th. Nearest to a middle distance race all week!

Orienteering race 1:30:22 [3]
Day 2 - rubbish run, had a lot of trouble in an area with limestone paving, finished 26th. By the end, I was just hoping I could find the controls - this technique just doesn't work in this terrain.
Running warm up/down 40:00 [3]
Parked the car the other side of the hill and ran through to assembly with Rob, Alex and Kelly. 20 min run there, and about the same back (but a little bit slower - tired).

French O Festival - Day 1. 12th - mistake on number 3/4, but otherwise ok - tough terrain.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [3]
Warm up run to start, via forest loo stop. Miserable weather.

Running 1:05:00 [3]
Run with Rosie from Redmires to Headstone and around - was supposed to be shorter but couldn't find a path in the woods so ended up doing a bigger loop than intended. Got back just before it started properly raining.
