Orienteering 1:05:04 [3] 10.6 km (6:08 / km) +220m 5:34 / km
Nominal 9.3 and 325m
Enjoyed the run on this sort of terrain. Pretty clean with a small wobble heading for the wrong crossing point at 2 and a bigger pause as I lost confidence going in to 9 (partly due to worrying about the route choice to 10). Probably took the wrong route as I went left. I lost 2 minutes to Sasha on a 13 minute leg, but that was about par for the rest of the course!

Orienteering race 39:11 [3] 5.65 km (6:56 / km) +250m 5:41 / km
First leg, started with the Men Open on the same course. Very busy and exciting. Lots of people to chase. A couple of wobbles early on, possibly 90s in total, otherwise quite clean but tiring towards the end. Murray Strain went round a similar course almost 8 minutes faster!

Orienteering race 1:02:28 [3] 8.7 km (7:11 / km) +160m 6:35 / km
This was exciting proper hard-core orienteering. Wind howled, mist came down, cagouls as well as whistles compulsory.
Almost all of the tricky part of the course was done in the mist - really pleased that I had only the one mist related wobble at 10 where I lost 3 minutes. Another minute dropped at 12 through daftness.
Later runners had the advantage of being able to see where they were going, with extra illumination from the occasional lightning strike.
Still 10 minutes off the pace but hard to compare what I might have done (although 7 minutes faster would be pushing credibility)

Orienteering race 1:07:46 [3] 9.1 km (7:27 / km) +215m 6:40 / km
Oh dear.
1 Couldn't understand any of the contours out of the start but compass and pacing and saved by a cairn
2 compass and pacing and backbearing off a cairn
3-7 were ok
8 crisis of confidence and lack of understanding of landshape -> 3 minute wander
9 careful and confident bearing and sighting off a distant building meant I ran 15 degrees right of the line, almost ended off the map and dropped another 5 minutes. A ~18 year old aske me where we were 2/3 of the way along the leg - I answered (truthfully) that I didn't know.
Next few were ok until I dropped another minute at 14
I wonder if the shape of the land is rather hidden by the enthusiastic use of form lines - I certainly had great trouble reading the shape in a few places, although that doesn't excuse my inability to follow a bearing!

Orienteering 13:40 [3]
Wobbled to 1 and may not have picked the best route to 2, also confused on the way. Other than that pretty clean. Fun if not too technical.
Didn't like the extremely subtle distinction between hedges (allowed to cross) and hedges (forbidden to cross). Both are dark green lines with slightly different amounts of black in them. A slight misregistering in the printing between green and black didn't help. Sprintmeister Strain had similar problems (although at much higher speed).
Surprising 4= and only 12 seconds off the lead.

Orienteering 1:00:06 [3] 9.4 km (6:24 / km) +230m 5:42 / km
Nominally 8.1 and 250m
Pretty smooth run round and round the small forest on a 1:7500 map.
Sasha showed us how to do it properly in 52:07, but 4th and first old man, so not too bad.
