Orienteering race 27:03 [4] 3.5 km (7:44 / km)
B v P round 2.1 short race part 1. had an ok race, but not fast enough. bit of a mistake on the second last, wasn't totally sure of where I was and went back to check out another control. miss-read the last too - thought it was on top of hill. should have been a couple of minutes faster.
Orienteering race 25:03 [5] 3.4 km (7:22 / km)
short race final. started in a bit of a gap - 30secs behind aislinn, and a few minutes off the lead. caught aislinn on the way to 1, and as we got to the circle was a little surprised to see kathryn. pace immediately got wound up to max (for me at least), as we steadily got caught by all the others who'd stuffed up the first control. caught lizzie at 4, as we made a mistake, but a much smaller one than lizzie. some very fast legs across to 6, and then some tricky ones, where it seemed like the same people ran back past me 3 or 4 times. was going ok, but then overshot 11, and ended up off the back of the pack with Kathryn. she had the legs to do something about it, and took off, but I'd been at max for too long, and the legs were empty. came in 55secs behind kathryn (who won), but had the second fastest time for the course. good to have a really hard race like that and spend some quality time in the hurt box.
