Orienteering race (Nationals Long) 1:08:44 [4] ***** 5.8 km (11:51 / km) +125m 10:42 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

Telephone Track - Vastly better today. Felt much more comfortable and for once I found the 1st control straight off which always puts you in a better frame of mind. Was incredibly anxious all last night and this morning which meant I was running on very little sleep but other than a couple of bung controls - was in the right general area but lost touch with the map - I am very happy with today :)

Orienteering race (Nationals Middle) 46:59 [4] ***** 2.6 km (18:04 / km) +160m 13:49 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 285

New map: Jessie's Delight - ARGH!!! Somehow I must have changed course on my way to #6 and ended up going to #7 convinced I'd done #6. Of course the number in my head and the number on the control didn't match so I kept going past it wondering why it fitted on the map perfectly but didn't fit the control number. That 'should' have been a warning to me but clearly not. Oh well, the first 3 controls weren't the best but the rest was okay (other than the mp obviously) so I've got to look at the positive things otherwise I'll drive myself into the ground.

Orienteering race (Nationals Sprint) 17:43 [3] ***** 2.3 km (7:42 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4

Took it fairly slow but the map was still crazy (okay, the map wasn't crazy but it was crazy trying to work out how to get to each control without ending up at a dead end). Wasn't too bad except for my shocking confusion at how to get to the finish from the last control! Oh well, I never liked sprints anyway!!

Run 42:24 [2] 7.22 km (5:52 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4

Round the OTH dirt track as the sun went down - not the bestest of ideas since by the end I had to slow right down 'cause I couldn't see the ground! Got a bit of speed going on the last street bit back to the house though. Hmmm, looks like the last after work run round the tracks for a while. Actually, there aren't any lights round the road in OTH either so I guess I'll have to find somewhere else to run :(
