|
| Orienteering race 1:00:00 [5] | |
| |
| 1st leg at Venla for VSOK1 almost a really good run. One BIG mistake though on number 187 (control 14 maybe?) drifted right as I tried to make the vegetation fit and ignored my compass. Stupid. Saw Rach there too and ran together a bit from then on.
Finished 42nd and then Sofie and Helen ran really well to take us up to 9th on 2nd leg and 12th on 3rd!! Finished 57th.

3rd, nearly 2 mins down on Pip with Grace in between.
Pretty good run - nice bonus of catching Rach and Heather G on the way to number one.

| |
| UK Cup Middle
3rd place just over a minute down on Rach with Mhairi in between.
Scrappy to begin with but maybe that made me run a bit harder. Some dodgy route choice decisions and wobbles near the end but all in all pretty OK. |
| Orienteering race 15:00 [5] | |
| |
| UK Cup Sprint Final
down in 8th place despite a cleanish run. Just not quick enough - too many missed track sessions...
Nice to see Lizzie up in 2nd! |

| Warm up course at Rice Lake whilst Magnus and Thomas put the controls out.
Cool area apart from the millions of fallen trees that I didn't really have the strength to clamber over! |
| Orienteering 50:00 [4] | |
| |
| Course at Rice Lake complete with mini markers. Aim was to go straight but I took this a bit too far and tried to head down a ridiculously steep bank from 10-11, changed my mind and took the path with 100s of steps option instead.
Good map and planning - thanks to Thomas and everyone else who helped me to get there. |
