Orienteering 1:40:24 [3] 6.9 km (14:33 / km)
shoes: VJ Bold (Blue)
JK Long, Bigland - 6.9km, W18E, 23rd
In general a lot better than yesterday because I actually had some half decent legs but still had some big mistakes and lost a lot of time. Took #1 and #2 slowly and got them fine. Lost about 8 mins on #3 as I was too far left and couldn't figure out where I was. Lost time on #9, just wasn't concentrating. The longer leg, #11, actually went ok, little inaccurate in the final 50m or so. Too low for #14, used the fence below it and the scale threw me a little. #16 was a disaster, I thought I saw the track that was just beyond the control but I think a bit of a track had just formed from people running from #16 to the last control.
Overall a poor JK, happy with my sprint result but the middle and long were more of a lesson than anything else. Looking forward to getting back into it and doing as much orienteering as I can before IOC next month.

JK Middle, Ulpha Park and Barrow Fell, W18E, 27th
I knew from the past few Leinster Leagues that I haven't been orienteering very well recently so when this turned out to be a complete disaster I wasn't too surprised. Forced myself to take it slow to #1 but I was too high, panicked a bit and lost a lot of time. Next two controls were a bit messy but thankfully no major mistakes. Too high for #4, I'm not too sure what I was doing but I was clearly not reading my map because I was way off. Very inaccurate and not very focused for the next few up until #10 but I managed. Ran right by #10 and didn't see it so lost more time there. The rest was quite dodgy and I was honestly just very glad to be finished the course and to try figure out what went so wrong.

JK Sprint - Lancaster University, W18E, 5th
Flowed well through the first section in the student accommodation and up until #15. Dropped some time to #16 by exiting #15 the wrong way, and then backtracking and taking a slightly longer route. After that I had some hesitations and had to stop at one or two controls to plan routes but overall I think it went well & happy with my result.
