| Final day of Central Moravian Champs, middle distance. It was a fun course with lots of controls. Made quite a few little mistakes that added up to a bit. almost all mistakes were around control circle not understanding the feature or not seeing control. Felt ok physically. With no swiss team there today was a bit surprised to end up in front overall and won 3 bottles of beer! classic. |

| Ran the Central Moravian champs long-ish distance. Fortunately it was quite a friendly long and not another two hour epic. Heaps of track running and some route choice and quite a few controls in patches of green. Had quite a good run and no real mistakes, just a couple of wiggles in control circles. route choices were generally ok i think. Felt pretty good physically too so was happy. |

| After a two and a half hour driving epic ran on a middle training map called Svata Marta in the rain with Dave, Simon and Vanessa. It was a cool area, pretty steep but nice and runnable. Put out some tapes on the way up the hill and did a little star relay at the top then ran back down the hill doing the course. Felt ok running. |

| Ran Central Moravian Champs sprint race in Konice. It was a fun town sprint. I did a couple of stoopid route choices but otherwise quite ok, just hesitating a bit trying to work out where you could and couldn't get through. Was a bit stuffed but ok. |

| Ran on a long training area called Helfstyn. Did relay starts with Kathryn and Vanessa. Did a few short courses a bit hard. Was fun as quite runnable so could push it a bit harder. Was a good session and felt happier about orienteering in Czech afterwards. |

| Ran czech team middle distance trial qualification race at zdarsky potok. Had a shocker. I couldn't understand anything and made heaps of mistakes. A few too many controls in green and long grass that tracked heaps for my liking. Crikeys, hope woc isn't going to be too much like that! Suspect it will be quite similar as very close geographically to middle area so had better get used to it. |

| Czech team middle distance test race final. Steeper and rockier than the morning. Ran a lot better until near the end when had a few controls back in the area where the morning race started. Got all confused again. Had a pretty shocking time but at least was an improvement on the morning. |

| Ran on a long/relay relevant map. Did a shortish line course on the flatter parts. Tried to run between lots of funny point symbols, brown crosses, green crosses, green circles. Having lots of trouble figuring them out so didn't help boost any confidence. Some really nice running but also some nasty stinging nettle sections.
The coolest part was going to some caves nearby afterwards. Should have taken a jumper though, 9 degrees got pretty cold after an hour. |

| Orienteering 1:20:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks cascadia |
| Went to middle relevant map, although not the most relevant there is. Seemed a bit too flat to be too relevant. Ran a few short courses as intervals. Were some super nice fast parts but also some steep climbs and yucky grassy bits. Pretty good map and in general things made sense to me. Quite a good session until I got ridiculously tired towards the end. |
