Orienteering race 17:01 [5] 3.1 km (5:29 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyper XC
British Sprint Champs. Heat C. 6th place, and missed out on the final by 2 seconds. Not a great run, lots of hesitations, slow in picking the best routes, not flowing well through the controls, running laboured. To be fair, what I should have expected after so little orienteering. Got in a boo and nearly just went home without running the B final.
Orienteering race 17:20 [5] 3.2 km (5:25 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyper XC
I wish I had just gone home. I was a complete idiot and mispunched at number 11, which was on a tree just before the actual control. Just a stupid mistake from not checking my codes. I had started the race well, but then blew 30 seconds on 6 when I was looking for the control at the wrong building, and then lost heart a bit. Felt like I had no top gear at all. Pretty disappointing day.
