Note
Learnt quite a lot this week, for example:
- I NEED TO BE POSITIVE (!!!)
- I'm not necessarily as bad at everything as I think of myself to be
- My compass is not dreadful if I remember to keep checking it more often
and on the note of positivity, some positives from this week are:
- I had a very good time w my mates and made a new 'pal' hahaha
- lost some weight which is always great
- improved my navigation, especially my compass

orienteering 56:21 [3] 5.59 km (10:05 / km) +158m 8:50 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 280
3rd place up until 9 (middle) then was just so slow up to 10 and then messed it up by going too high anyway. Probs should've gone other way cos then you could see the control from below but ah well. Rest of race was sound but was a bit dead and had cramps lol.
Rona's advice kept repeating in my head though and I tried to stay positive despite not feeling like I was having a good run. Working on having a PMA, its gonna take some time not gonna lie but yeah gonna have to try or I will fall back to the same state I was in after Northern champs.

Did try quite hard in this because knew it was the last orienteering based team comp and Phil'n Good was hungry for the zesty points hahaha
Kept forgetting to stop my watch tho oops

So was going pretty steady-ish till number 8 where I bananaed outta the control and didnt hit the track so just ran in the rough direction. Then hit a fence so was like oh cool this is fine I'm just below my control but turns out I was too high on an unmarked fence lol. Just jogged from there tbh

Didn't really eat enough all day so was pretty empty by this point and had nothing really to give. Mistakes crept in as well especially at last control when everyone could see me and I didn't have enough confidence.
