| JK Day 2. Long classic, though not as tough as i was expecting. Course started out in a steep hilly section but got much flatter for the end. Didn't feel as if I had any speed at any time during the run so again was surprised to finish 8th (also overall). Again the map had quite a few holes in it where the mapping wasn't up to standard, escpecially ditches and depressions. Didn't lose much time, just a few misses right at the end when the controls were hidden in pits. Well tired at the end but not hurting. |

| JK day 1. Middle distance. First time running in the Forest of Dean. Not a bad area but not very difficult - made two quite big mistakes (30-40 seconds each) at the start as I'm just not used to vague navigating (map was also rubbish). Finished 13th, which I was surprised at after losing so much time. Ran fairly well thought and kept going up the steep hills. |

| JK Sprint race. Bristol university campus. Very fast and quite easy. Not used to Sprint racing but had not problems other than with speed. Finished 20th I think which is about as good as I could expect in this type of terrain.
