| The first 8.7km of the relay until the control circle at the penultimate control, and the last 0.5km of the relay from there to the finish. Ran quite well with Jarkko Huovila and nice and in control. |

| At the penultimate control of the relay progessively getting in more and more of a boo. Really hoped I could end the week on a good note, but didn't. |

| A complete stab in the dark at how much warming up and warming down I did last week. Very frustrating week, not many positives to take from it, except that I am a God at rounders and I am better than GG on waterslides. |

| Orienteering race 36:00 [5] | |

| EOC Middle B-final. Quite a tricky marshy, low-vis area. Ran it no-compas, which worked ok, I just didn't quite execute strategies very well and as a result didn't hit very many controls spot on. A bad start, losing 30secs-1min on each of the first 4 controls. Didn't really get much better from then on. Physically ok except for being partially deaf cos of the water park yesterday. |

| The majority of the Middle qual. Started a bit scrappy until #6, but still in with a shout. Then I have no idea what happened at #7 - even having studied the map since. It should have been an easy leg and I did what I planned. I would have to go back into the forest to get to the bottom of it. Got caught by Efimov and Bourrin and we cocked up #10 too, but they kindly gave me a lift back to the finish. |

| Orienteering race 1:01:00 [5] | |
| shoes: adidas swoops |
| Thought I ran alright, taking time to stop and make sure so didn't lose much time until a minute mistake right near the end. In hindsight, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was and everyone else was just caining it. Should've cained it. |

| Sprint Qual. My good run of the week. It was really easy though. Nice that I was running quite fast I suppose. Had quite a bad sore throat which lasted until the end of the week, but it never really turned into a cough/cold and this run was enough to convince me it wasn't slowing me down. |
| Orienteering race 14:40 [5] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom Vomero +2 |
| Sprint final. Blew it at number 14 in the dunes. Had been a little scrappy before that, but defo on for a top 30. Top 20 easily do-able if I'd been a little more focussed. Encouraging yet frustrating. |
