| Dave Peel map!! I seem to have problems on these. Can't make things make sense. Messed up 2 & 4. Then generally ok apart from 14 and getting really tired towards the end so couldn't make much use of the tracks that were available. Overall slightly disappointing week. |

| One poor control, then nearly missed the next one out completely. Heather on the moorland was horrible, just couldn't run - it was worse than in even the grottiest bits of the wood. It helped having a late start. |

| Enjoyed today - again felt that it was a race. Very careful in light green areas. Still not in top 50 though but at least seem to have caught up the midfield pack in the results. |

| Orienteering race (Kingussie sprint) 22:08 [5] *** 3 km (7:23 / km) +70m 6:36 / km | |

| Loved it. Still finished near the bottom but at least I felt I was racing. Caught up one minute man at 6 but he ran off cos was much younger. One not optimal route choice lost maybe 30 seconds. |

| Orienteering race (Inshriach West Day 3) 1:29:26 [5] 8.3 km (10:47 / km) +190m 9:40 / km | |

| Not a bad race. Quite pleased but struggled in the terrain. Really need to improve terrain running skills. One poor control when didn't relocate well and ended up running wrong way down a ride. Shouldn't really be making this type of mistake. |

| Orienteering race (Balavil Day 2) 1:12:21 [4] **** 7.9 mi (9:08 / mi) +330m 5:02 / km | |
| shoes: O Falcon |
| Poor run. One awful control in light green after 45mins - took 15 minutes to find. Then got worse in grotty bracken and forest. Starting first didn't help either. |
