Orienteering race (WMOC Long M60B final) 1:23:50 [5] **** 9.98 km (8:24 / km) +121m 7:55 / km
ahr:143 max:171 shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

A very bad start with errors on 1, 2 and 3, loosing at least 10 minutes. I think my new compass is somewhat to blame as it does not settle and I often found myself off line. Ran OK after that until 11 when I stopped short and lost another 2-3 minutes. OK until almost the end when I inexplicably ran past 15 without punching. Then ran to the wrong last control. So another MP.

Not my best week of orienteering but enjoyed the experience (mostly). Deb and particularly Briohny had good weeks.

Orienteering (WMOC Long model) 40:53 [3] **** 4.0 km (10:14 / km) +32m 9:50 / km
ahr:142 max:174 shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

Very easy paced run around a few of the long model controls at Gribsov. Hoping that today isn't a true reflection of tomorrow's terrain as this was pretty scrappy with lots of unpleasant green and fallen timber.

Orienteering race (WMOC middle final) 38:38 [5] **** 5.26 km (7:21 / km) +39m 7:05 / km
ahr:147 max:176 spiked:13/15c shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

M60B final in same forest as yesterday's qualifier but more technical area today, including some sand dunes (at least on my course!). 8th last starter and with a good run, I could have gained promotion to Friday's Long A final (complicated new system!). Any chance of that was lost with large (3 min +) errors at 2 and 6. Otherwise pretty good nav but lacked speed needed at this level. Was 7 minutes down on the winner so without errors may have been close. Will run B final in the long on Friday. Deb and Briohny both had solid runs in their A finals today and should stay in the A for the long.

Orienteering race (WMOC Forest qualifier) 53:05 [5] **** 7.46 km (7:07 / km) +103m 6:40 / km
ahr:155 max:166 spiked:13/15c shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

WMOC forest (ie Middle and Long) M60 qualifier at Tisvilde. Pretty good run with a small miss on 1 (15 sec) and then a bigger error on the very vague 6 (2 minutes). Those 2 mistakes were enough to drop me out of the A final, finishing 18th (top 16 qualify) and about 2 minutes down on 16th. At least I punched the last control.....:-) B final tomorrow in same area but expecting some more technical (ie sand dune) terrain.

Orienteering (WMOC middle forest model) 38:43 [3] **** 4.18 km (9:15 / km) +58m 8:39 / km
ahr:138 max:157 shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

Cruise around the middle model map trying to get a handle on terrain and mapping. Generally ok with nav but one error where I crossed a (major) track without noticing and ended up well to the west of where I should have been. Seemed to be a few unmapped tracks (and not those caused by runners!) but vegetation mapping was good and generally readable.

Orienteering race (WMOC Sprint M60 C final) 13:28 [5] *** 2.44 km (5:31 / km) +8m 5:25 / km
ahr:142 max:150 spiked:10/13c shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

Another day, another disaster! Sprint final in the centre of Copenhagen. Actually had a very good run apart from a couple of seconds lost on 1 and 7. Oh and then I forgot to punch the last control! Had 5 fastest splits and a couple of 3rd's and my time (even allowing for maybe 10 seconds extra to punch the last) would have given me 2nd place. But it was not to be. Hopefully have got all the mistakes out before the Forest races during the week!

Orienteering race (WMOC Sprint M60 qualifier) 22:23 [5] *** 3.78 km (5:56 / km)
ahr:150 max:158 spiked:16/19c shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

Started OK thru to 4 then made possibly the biggest single error I've made on a sprint course, losing around 4 minutes on #5. Had a plan then changed it halfway along but, just near #5 (maybe 20m) I got the plans mixed in my head and turned left when I should have gone right and ran a long way away from the control. Eventually relocated off #7 but the damage was done and A and B finals out of reach. Almost dropped into the D final with small errors on 11 and 12 but just hung on.

Orienteering (WMOC forest training map) 45:21 [3] **** 5.24 km (8:39 / km) +26m 8:27 / km
ahr:146 max:175 spiked:13/16c shoes: Salomon Sense Marin trail shoe

Ran on one of the Ravnsholt Skov training map as did Deb and Briohny. Good to get some local terrain experience and see how things are mapped although map will differ a bit from WMOC maps.
