Orienteering race (Graz Schlossberg Race) 41:59 [5] 6.8 km (6:10 / km)
shoes: Saucony Perigrine 7

This was my target race and the one I was looking forward to. A mix of Park, Urban, and the very steep and complex Schlossberg area.
Unfortunately I couldn’t see the 1st control into the Schlossberg area on my map! (Colours) so lost 4 mins looking around for it, pushed pretty hard after this and lost my place again in the town loosing a further 2 mins. Other than that I was quicker than anyone and should really have won this one.
Finished 9th but somehow still held on to 2nd o/a for the weekend but an embarrassing amount behind Quentin.

Orienteering race (Northallerton Urban) 42:26 [5] 9.0 km (4:43 / km)
shoes: Saucony Ride 10

Ran the MV course, finished 3rd but could easily have won.
Missed a small gap (again) early on with resulted in 2 poor route choices then got caught out (along with many others) when the course line obscured a narrow alley and lost another minute. Unfortunately got annoyed at this and concentration went for a while resulting in missing a few junctions etc but got it back together again at the end.
1:4000 rather than 1:5000 map may have helped but area probably too big for this.
