| Really tough race today, Lots of climb and long legs. Route choice was important on 2 of the legs were i took the road options and gained time on alex and others. Messed up a few of the legs, 5 in particuar but had a few bad ones still looking on win splits. Stayed slow and steady for most of them and was pretty happy. Fell into a marsh that was not on the map and suck up to my arm pits. Called a japaneese runner over who was running past to help me out but i manged to crawl out before he got there. |

| Orienteering race (Middle C final) 38:10 [3]***** 2.7 km (14:08 / km) | |
| shoes: Icebug mr2 extreme |
| Another poor performance. Had a decent slow but stedy start and spiked a few of the controls. After that it got bad with a 12.40 split to number 6 , 6 min longer than i should have taken. Then spiked 8 but read the control description for 9 so i thought i was at the wrong control, over 2 min lost there. Number 10 saw me read the wrong hill and i spent time bashing around the wrong knolls. Then the pre warning contol was messed up when i found the control for the B course and conivinced my self I had overshot my control. Hopeing for a better showing on the long, less detail and longer legs are a change i think i need at the moment |

| Horrid run from me today. Was not fast on the legs and i messed up a few controls. Number two cost me as i did not agree with the map as it showed a gental slop where there was a vertical drop off. I messed around in this area for a while. Missed and stuffed up 4. Poor route choice to 6. Then i was just slow and careful for the rest of the course. Area was technically very tough for me with alot of climb as well. |

| Model event for the middle distance. Chose a few of the controls out in the forest and made a course. Took it fairly easy but was still tough with lots of climb thanks to the large steap ridges on the map |
