|
| Orienteering race 1:03:00 [5] | |
| |
| last leg for VSOK. The team ran really well, up in 5th at the first TV control on 2nd leg and I almost had to have traktrak (if Thea hadn't run past the finish punch!). Dropped from 25th-26th. Disappointing run with route choice errors and some time loss. A good run would have put us top 20 which would have been great (26th was a pb for the club anyway)... |
| Running warm up/down 50:00 [3] | |
| |
| round and round the changeover pen to warm up and back to the car to warm down |
Friday Apr 27 |
| Orienteering race 13:22 [5] | |

Pippa top Brit in 14th. |

| M21L at Bentley Woods at the FCC final. Felt really sorry for all the nervous juniors at the start - made me realise what I must be like at the JK etc. Nightmare!
Pretty good run, tried to try hard the whole way round. A couple of small time losses but good in general. Pretty sure no.1 was in the wrong re-entrant! |

| Orienteering race 39:00 [5] | |
| |
| Not a good run, lost 20 secs at no 1 (!) and just carried on from there really. Scrappy and hesitant. Well done to Helen - she's definitely back! I really like Mulgrave but not today... |
| |
| C • I thought it was good. 2 |
| Orienteering 1:00:00 [3] | |

| warming up and extra long warm down to go and do a few legs again without the hesitation - felt better after that. |

| Event: British Elite Sprint Orienteering Championships
|
| Orienteering race 14:00 [5] | |
| |
| OK run in qualification (2nd) apart from getting down to the underpass for the last control - should have done some geeking beforehand! |
| Orienteering race 16:00 [5] | |
| |
| Better race in the final, lucky to catch a glimpse of hel vino already at no.2 but took ages to catch her! Still can't get close to Pippa in sprint though.
Great map and course. |
| Running warm up/down 50:00 [3] | |

Monday Apr 9 |
| Orienteering race 34:40 [5] | |
| |
| Relay day. Anchored the SYO women to 1st (again!) after a solid first leg from Laura on her club debut and a great second leg from Helen. I was really scrappy after the spectator control (train tracks, high fences, bramble jungles and even an actual train in my way) but luckily had a big enough lead. Shame the lads got DSQd but even my dad did so there must have been something dodgy going on. Nice to have ShUOC next to us on the podium... |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| ran around the field a bit to try to loosen legs and afterwards just went for a lie down instead of a warm down! |
Sunday Apr 8 |
| Orienteering race 1:14:55 [5] | |
| |
| Cut it pretty fine but finally a JK victory!!!
Looking at the splits I was only ahead after the spectator control. Quite a scrappy run at the start but got into it eventually. Didn't feel great running but had one of those days when the controls seem to be waving at you so was hoping it was a good one!
Nice to be on the podium with Oli and great to see Helen right back up there. |
| |
| C • finally! 8 |
| Running warm up/down 45:00 [3] | |
| |
| forced myself to warm up at the start quite a lot though it was quite tempting to think you could do that on the course! went off for a bit of a longer warm down at the end as I couldn't handle waiting to see if Rach would beat me. |

|
| Orienteering race 34:49 [5] | |
| |
| JK Middle, OK run. Lost time on 5 and 6. Came through at the end to take 2nd just behind Rach (might have been closer still if I hadn't screwed up the finish line punch!!) and equal with Elise. Very tight results in the top of the womens... |
| Running warm up/down 45:00 [3] | |

|
| Orienteering race 11:34 [5] | |

| JK Sprint round UWE Bristol. Felt OK but couldn't run as fast as Pippa. Don't think I lost any time but maybe could have run faster at the start. Bit disappointed when I saw the boys course as theirs looked much more fun! 2nd equal with Elise Egseth. |
| Running warm up/down 45:00 [3] | |

| warm up with some strides and lots of steps, warm down with Karen. |
