Orienteering 1:15:38 [3] 4.7 km (16:06 / km)
shoes: VJ Bold
Final day.
A good start, but turned into a "continental" track run through green and stripes at the end.
L piriformis/glute making itself known by the end :(
It's been an awesome week.

Orienteering race 51:55 [3] 3.5 km (14:50 / km)
shoes: VJ Bold
ROC Day 4 - middle race.
It rained.
I got caught by/in crags twice.
A better run.
I need to be more offensive.
5th again, closer to the top runners time-wise but still room for improvement.

ROC Day 3 - Middle race.
Good to be back in VJ's :)
Shame about no 5 - had decided not to go over the top to save on climb (!) and then didn't know where I was and faffed around for ages on top of a spur trying to relocate. Though it had to be in one of the reentrants on either side of where I was (even though I couldn't see it) and took ages to decided I was too far to the right and to just head left. Ended up doing more climb than if I'd just taken those 2 contours max and gone over the top!!
Top half today, but a looooooong way down - the faff at no 5 cost me 5+ minutes but no places.
Would be good to have 1 clean run out here before we finish up!

Orienteering race 51:35 [3] 3.66 km (14:06 / km)
shoes: Salomon Speedcross
ROC Day 2, middle
Final details implied a fair chunk of urban towards the end so opted for Salomons, but really, really wish I'd gone with VJs, was slipping and sliding and then being a right wuss everywhere.
One mistake of just over a minute or so, happy with that.
Rest day tomorrow.

Event: Rocky Orienteering Circus
Orienteering 21:49 [3] 2.1 km (10:23 / km)
shoes: Hoka Clifton 2
Rocky O Circus Sprint.
Can't remember my last forest sprint, and this was Swedish style with some easy urban bits thrown in.
2 mins plus of frustration on no 8 - simplified too much and then faffed.
Pleased with speed looking at Quickroute round the rest. Top 20 should be doable the rest of the week!
