| Day 5, Today was really just training, never ran really hard, orienteering was ok except around the controls where i found it impossible to understand the map, esp in the very detailed depression areas. Once again the vegetation was mapped by a 12 year old, i spent a bit of time grid searching for pits and depressions in flat green areas mapped as flat white areas. Caught a few places in the chasing start anyway but not cos i ran well. At least this week was a solid week of training if nothing else. Need to train the compass a bit before woc. |

| Day 4. Another long day. Started well for the first 30min before i came into a area mapped as white that was thick as buggery, lost about 4min here looking for a cairn and then trying to find my way out, i was very pissed off after this and a lot of people had problems here, it was a joke. Got going well again until i missed another 4min looking for a control in a open quarry that turned out to be a high point under the N line - ie invisible on the map. I assumed it was in the gully since it was the only feature on the map, ran here twice before i saw someone punch the control behind the bushes where the high point was. Plugged through to the finish after this with one more miss, really stuffed by the end and i would have been more pissed off if i wasnt so dead. 14min behind. |

| Day 3, middle distance today thank god. Started calmly and was going pretty well for the 1st half, careful out of the controls and had good contact and rythm then missed 15sec, ran out of the control a bit rushed and in the wrong direction and ended up losing 4min on the next one. Cruised through to the finish with quite good rythm for the rest but a bit less intensity. 7min behind, a lot of people had problems today, 2nd place even bagged out the map on the commentary, saying he got half of em by luck... |

| Day 2, planned to go for a bit of stage glory today since the yellow jersey was blown yesterday but i was way off. Started ok but missed a lot at the end of the first long leg in a mass of impenetrable young birch mapped as light green, battled on after that on a brutal course but never really had any rythm and missed a lot around the controls esp in the green, of which there was a lot. 17min behind, the next 3 days could be very long... |

| Day 1 Started badly by leaving my si card at the start, got to the 1st and only had my finger there to punch, after 7-8min of looking for the si someone told me it was at the start, so 9min after my start i headed off again. Ran quite well till i lost 4-5 min around the control on 12 and then battled to the finish. Not a great start to the 5 days. |
