Note
Golf wirh Charlie at Meltham. 99 (30 points). First round this year. Fairly rusty, but not as bad as feared and a good even competition.
Back not too bad, though hip got quite sore, mainly from carrying the clubs.

Orienteering race 1:00:30 [4] 9.5 km (6:22 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon
WMOC Final - Hedley Dunes - 8.4Km
Not quite sure what to make of that. Felt like the race fell apart badly towards the end and was really disappointed when I finished, particularly as I was down to second almost immediately with lots of runners still to finish. Went for a long sulky warm down where I couldn't hear the commentary, got back, looked at the results and got quite a surprise.
Physically the whole thing felt like a struggle. Was very tired towards the end and never felt fast, but think other people were finding it tough as well. SI and hamstring were sore while running and very sore afterwards but managed to run through the pain.
Technically not bad until a slight miss at 16 led to my glasses steaming up. From then on, a real struggle as I couldn't read the map or see the ground properly. Lost about 40s on the way to 2 missing a path junction and having to literally crawl through cutty grass. Then lost 30s to 12 when I was on target, but saw another control and went to it. Then 1 min on 16. Missed it slightly, and then couldn't recover when the glasses steamed up. Couldn't read the map at all to 17 so just tried to go on the compass and didn't get anywhere near, losing about 40s. Then lost about 20s on 19 and 30s on 22 through not having a clear picture.
Caught JonX 4 mins at 2, and saw him quite a bit, but without any real assistance. He finally got ahead 16-17 and finished about a minute before me.
Could easily have won, but in retrospect very happy just to have got through the week given where I was a few days ago.

Note
SI fairly sore today, and thigh also still quite sore from yesterday's overstrapping. Would have been a struggle to run, but hopefully another night's rest will improve the situation.

Orienteering race 54:57 [3] 7.31 km (7:31 / km)
ahr:149 max:169 shoes: VJ Falcon
WMOC Qualifier 2 - Temu Road - 6.0Km 180m
Atypical Woodhill - steep and complicated but a lot of fun.
Leg strapped too tightly before starting, and was in quite a lot of pain at the top of my left thigh. Really struggled to concentrate for the first few controls as a result, but felt a lot better after stopping and redoing the strapping. For the remainder of the course, probably as comfortable as I've been for a while although SI started hurting a bit towards the end.
Technically very poor at the start. Minor misses on 1, 2 and 6. Bigger mistakes at 3 (45s, just not concentrating on navigation) and 5 (2 mins, missed it very slightly and assumed I would have seen it so wandered off). Then got into the groove and only lost a few seconds at 18. Tried not to put effort in and didn't feel tired at the end.

Orienteering race 50:19 [3] 8.05 km (6:15 / km)
ahr:154 max:163 shoes: VJ Falcon
WMOC Long Qualifier 1 - Temu Rd - 6.7Km 170m
Bit of a struggle. Leg strapped fairly comprehensively which seemed to protect the hamstring, but groin really quite sore. Running OK on the nice bits, but a lot of pain over rough stuff. Didn't put any effort in but would probably have struggled if I had.
Technically fairly poor - the usual problem of struggling to concentrate in a qualifier. Lost 45s 2-3 when I got turned 90 degrees and ended up spending extra time in the open dunes. Lost about 30 sec approaching 6. Then about 2 mins at 9 when I failed to trust my compass. Other small misses at 7, 12.
