Orienteering race (Loch Nell and Shenavllie) 1:44:55 *** 9.17 km (11:26 / km)
19c shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
Lost 6 or 7 minutes on ctrl 1 from being well off to the SW of it. Eventually relocated then Tristan was right behind me having made a 3 minute mistake himself (he started 4min behind me). He caned it across the open and I fell behind.
Rough ground slowed me, which gave me time to read the map, which slowed me(walking+ reading), ... so I decided to do some map memory. Managed to do 6,7,8,9,10,11 almost all in one. Got some weird looks off of other orienteers wondering where my map was.

spiked:23/24c shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
It was more technical at the beginning today so I did better. My only mistake was on 19 where I lost 1min 45s because I did a parallel error with the re-entrent which was my catching feature.

spiked:14/15c shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
Dont really know what I did wrong here, I somehow ended up 15minutes behind average. It was the worst of the areas underfoot and I was the first starter so.. :S
3- Bad RC (1min 30s)
4- Bad RC thought I could get through the bracken but it was impenetrable, I got halfway through and reached nettles so went back. 2min lost

Orienteering race (Dunollie and Dunstaffanag) 1:07:12 [3] *** 8.28 km (8:07 / km) +440m 6:25 / km

hmm... -_-
I did OK to start with then took a bad RC to number 3 (over the hill). After that It sort of went down-hill. 20s on 4 then let jack catch me, then made another 20s on 5. Just scrappy. To 6 I tried to take the long round-the-path/road route but failed to find the path, It would have been a good RC but I messed it up..
Thought that I would go over the cliff rather than down the path this time but lost about 20s again on that RC.
Then Jack was running the wrong way when I left 7...
After that more bad Route choices to 8 9 and 10 (7-8 I also thought that I was going doing 8-9, 10 lost 3min on the RC). More OK/scrappy after that. Probably a good 10min lost + going slow for my ankles.
Did not like the terrain as I went over on my ankle every step hopefully its not damaged but it is painful.. We don't have ice so I went for a wade in the sea which was probably more effective.
