Orienteering race 36:44 [5] *** 3.8 km (9:40 / km) +100m 8:33 / km
spiked:11/14c shoes: Orange Shoes
Oban 2011 Day 6
After the fairly epic walk to the start I was allready quite tired. I messed up #1 by being to high and on the wrong ridge. I sped up and spiked #2, #3, #4 and #5. by some how miss punch #6. I am sure I went to the control but it mustn't have registered. I messes up #7 and got very confused when I saw a fence but relocated and found I was near #9. I took the rest steady and didn't any of them up.

spiked:9/12c shoes: Orange Shoes
Oban 2011 Day 5
I ran too far down the path on the way to #1 and ended up following the elephant tracks into the control. I was fine until #4 where I took a stupid route and stopped too early and got confused. Then at #5 I did a paralel error and found a control which was not mine. I ran around and still coundn't match the map to the ground. I was running to a near by fence when it clicked and I found the control.I was fine on the rest of the controls but I was slowed by all the mud.

Oban 2011 Day 4
Steep up hill to #1. Contored round to #2 but was too high and messed around and lost about 4 mins. On the way to #3 I pass the boy I ran with yesterday who thenb followed me into the control. We ran round and he graduly pulled away but I took a better route to #8 and overtook him. I slightly messes up #9 and he caught me up and we ran together until #12 where I ran to the wrong stream bend.

Oban 2011 Rest Day Sprint Race
Started well but stood around before #7 trying to match the map to the ground. Messed up going to #15. I went to #14, then #18, then #15, then #19 and then 16. I died on the long leg across the sanddunes and the guy I was running with got ahead. I took a silly route choise to #25 but it was generally a good run.

spiked:9/12c shoes: Orange Shoes
Oban 2011 Day 2
Started slow and spiked the first few. Messed up #3 and lost about 1 min by messing around in the circle. Did a similar thing at #5. The rest of the controls were fine but I was running slower than I would have liked.
The terrain was wet and marshy with patches of trees. I would proberbly have benifited from a later start as there would have been more elephant tracks.

Oban 2011 Day 1
Caught up Sam Galloway at #1 and he followed me round the rest of the course. I had a good run and I spiked most of the controls. The only mistake I made was at #11 where I went into the green too early and messed around before coming out and going in in the propper place.
