Orienteering race 1:25:27 [4] 8.4 km (10:10 / km) +625m 7:25 / km
shoes: VJ Integrators

OO Cup day 3. Great course in some really good terrain (used by French team for WOC selections). Felt physically better than the day before and pushed quite hard. Overall best race of the 5. Missed a couple of route choices that cost a bit of time in the techinical stuff but well controlled. Caught danger then made 2 stupid mistakes getting distracted and trying to get away from him (why?) then went better round the last bit. Outwitted Spongey who was going well (but not enought to get near him overall!)

OO Cup day 2. Tough, technical middle. Pretty hesitant but solid for most part then made a stupid 2min mistake on no. 13 which was bit annoying. Bit off the pace.
