Orienteering race (Jwoc middle final) 35:57 [5] 2.8 km (12:50 / km) +90m 11:04 / km
shoes: VJ Twisters
San Martino. 1: 10 000. B final. Same finish arena as yesterday. Second last South Afrrican to start, with Salome 2 minutes behind me. I saw all 5 girls out there. I had a good run despite a wobble on the long leg as usual. Handled it better than yesterday though. After halfway I was running in a big group which helped. Nice bit of forest. Piped Salome by 2 seconds. Happy with my position on the results board :-) Came 22nd

Orienteering race (Jwoc Middle Qualification) 45:24 [5] 3.4 km (13:21 / km) +90m 11:48 / km
shoes: VJ Twisters
San Martino. 1:10 000. Course 2
The run to the start control was a killer. 270m uphill and I was left in the dust of a Swede and a Fin. #1 and #2 were straight forward. #3 was my big mistake. Lost about 5mins. Was being an idiot. Stopped to short. If I had walked a few more meters over the hill I would have seen the whole camera crew round the control. After that it was relatively good. Got a good flow going and felt quite fast. Maybe lost another 2mins on #7. Bit disapointed with my result. Hope to eliminate big mistakes tomorrow.

Orienteering race (JWOC Long Final) 1:53:49 [5] *** 5.7 km (19:58 / km) +275m 16:05 / km
18c shoes: VJ Twisters
1:15 000. Passo Rolle.
Started in a thunder storm and was freezing for the first half. Made some big mistakes on the first few long legs. I was battling once in the control circle. Was on 58 minutes at control 5. After that the rain stopped and I settled down nicely. Very pleased with how I ran after the coaching zone. Goal was to run under 2 hours so pleased with my time. Lots to improve.
Rest day tomorrow!

Orienteering race (Sprint) 19:25 [5] *** 2.5 km (7:46 / km) +80m 6:42 / km
21c shoes: New Balance 472
JWOC sprint. Mezzano. Crazy race! The fastest 19 minutes of my life. Found it impossible to read ahead so was very hesitant on the first long leg. Lost time when I saw the mens control which I thought was mine at #4. Almost ran passed 16 as I could already see #17. Other than that a few other hesitations but nothing major. Last 4 controls where flat out running. Happy with my result. Steph had a good run.

Eeek. Not looking forward to the long. Not enjoying the scale. Battlimg to interpret stuff once I'm in the circle. Took it easy and tried to figure stuff out. Hard to concentrate with everyone wizzing passed.
Sprint tomorrow should be fun.

shoes: New Balance 472
Passo Rolle 1:15 000.
First training on a 1:15 000 map. It felt really weird but I got the feel of it towards the end. Battled to interpret detail in the circle. Didn't notice the climb much. Nice area. Long model tomorrow will hopfully give me a bit more confidence
