Orienteering race 1:08:00 [5] 9.3 km (7:19 / km) +116m 6:53 / km
shoes: Saucony Progrid (Orange)
WMOC Long - Grib Skov - A Final
Early starter so perhaps a mite cooler but no nice tracks in the brackeny or long grassy bits. It was still very hot anyway.
Lost 2 mins+ at 2 misreading ride ends in the brackeny clearing, and a lesser amount at 7 and 13.
Ran out of steam in the heat over the last km or two but held it together albeit running slower.
56th and 5th Brit behind Dixie, (60), JohnE (63), JamesC (64), and Keith T (67). Probably the est I could have hoped for after a topsy turvy week but it would have been nice to make the top 50.
Didn't have the confidence or terrain experience to run straight on enough occasions...apart from not being quick enough.
Westlund and Lund at the sharp end are so quick....but that guy from Scotland with the fastest run in split took 4 and 8 secs out of them respectively :-)

WMOC rest day.
Gentle pottering from Gilleleje to Hornbaek and back beside the Kattegat with T. Various stops for swims, coffee, ice cream etc...any excuse in fact. Lovely day, beautiful warm water. Out for a good while ...20ks worth.

Orienteering race (Wmoc Middle Final) 33:00 [5] 3.9 km (8:28 / km)
shoes: Mudclaws RED
C Final after qualifier debacle. 2nd.
Aim was just to be asclean as possible without worrying about anything else. Unfortunately missed the depression in light green that was #1 and binned over two minutes so a poor start. Hence really pleased to pull things back from there to get up to 2nd and hence secure one of the two C final wildcard places for Friday's long A final. Well pleased. Not a clean run by any means but I'll take it after such an up and down week.
Looking forward to that now after rest day tomorrow.

shoes: Mudclaws RED
Wmoc - Forest Qualifier
Blew it big time at 12....in the green stuff. Tried to be calm and went in and out three times but missed it each time. Then became headless chicken.
Also lost time at 5 and 10....maybe 3 mins. Shame after a good steady start.

Orienteering race 13:30 [5] 2.5 km (5:24 / km)
WMOC Sprint D final -2nd
Copenhagen
About 600m shorter than A...disappointing as I can't see a reason for it in a sprint.
Lost 45s on 10...a combination of route choice and execution
Apart from that not too much.
A fairly meaningless 2nd. The damage was of my own making yesterday.

Orienteering race 14:40 [3] 2.8 km (5:14 / km)
Wmoc Sprint Qualifier
Ran pretty well until missing out 16. Certainly amply quick enough to have dawdled through the last 5 controls that were all in a straight line and still qualifed:-( Probably would have taken me 15s to go to 16. Boo. Major downer.
On the plus side felt comfortable and to be running well but it's the D final for me.
