MOC Chasing sprint semi
Starting 8sec behind Martin Hubmann and 6 behind Yannick then had a 10sec gap behind and a load more athletes then.
Set off very hard just glimpsing those two to keep in touch then to 4 they split and I followed Martin and ran very hard downhill to catch him. On the back of him but hadn't looked at my map much and a 10sec mistake was made and came back through the control and now a big group was close to us.
Clean through 5 then went via 7 to 6 and Martin punched it ran off and I then stopped and realised we hadn't been to 6 so went to 6 then back to 7. 8 was technical and I wasn't really in orienteering mode and was very sloppy and joined at the control by everyone.
Then went left behind Tim up to 9 and got overtaken by a couple of people as didn't have the pace but had time to read the map and thought right was quicker to 10. Punched 9 in 4th then went my way and got to 10 about 1 sec ahead but I got to carry on through the control and built up a big lead and finished fairly comfortably in 1st as Martin mp'd
Can't quite believe I made the final again and Tim managed to get second which was cool.

MOC Chasing start A-final -6th place
Starting in 2nd 5sec behind Daniel Hubmann and just sprinted out the start and went all out to catch him and decided to trust him yet we had a slowish route to 1 and lost a small amount of time then another small miss to 2 and the pack was on us then again wrong route to 3 and now in about 4th. Then just ran hard holding and got to 5 and the others were shouting something as control wasn't there so turned and smashed in FH got confused so went and checked 5 wasn't there then carried on. Now the front four were miles off so was behind FH but another bad route and missed an alley he missed more I got into the control with Loic and then on the long run in from two controls out I kicked and went past feeling good.
I didn't even die and he came flying past at an unreal speed I couldn't compete with.
Today the orienteering was extremely shabby (mostly as I wasn't looking at the map) yet in my tactics I didn't really intend to navigate and just trust more experienced orienteers. With one exception that won me my heat.
