Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 1.5 km (13:20 / km) +175m 8:25 / km
shoes: Jalas

Jog/walk to start

Orienteering race 48:49 [4] **** 4.5 km (10:51 / km) +170m 9:07 / km
shoes: Jalas

Started slowly, took a while to get the hang of the map. Had good run apart from no 7 where I stopped concentrating for 30 sec and ran behind a train of people into the wrong re-entrant. Relocated but took at least 2 mins to get back into the right place. Rest of course fine. Loved the run down the hill to finish but too tired to go really fast!

Orienteering race 50:19 [5] **** 5.37 km (9:22 / km) +125m 8:24 / km
shoes: Jalas

What pressure? Had Fran Loots starting 2min behind and Lindsey Knox 4min. It certainly focuses the mind. Ran well apart from being in too much of a hurry at 3 (lost 1min) and at 5 doing an impression of my catching features runner who can never work out which way to run out of a control. Apart from that it was generally good - just a bit hot.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 0.75 km (13:20 / km)
shoes: Jalas

Thursday Aug 6, 2009 #

Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 2.7 km (7:24 / km)
shoes: Jalas

Orienteering race 58:15 [5] *** 5.88 km (9:55 / km) +80m 9:17 / km
shoes: Jalas

Generally ran as hard as I could but unfortunately clocked up about 4 mins of mistakes by being a bit careless and in a couple of places by not being able to see the detail on the map.

shoes: Jalas

Orienteering race 53:05 [3] **** 4.55 km (11:40 / km) +180m 9:44 / km
shoes: Jalas

Enjoyed it a lot. Didn't do too much wrong and managed to keep moving even though it was hard to see with water in my eyes!

Monday Aug 3, 2009 #

Running warm up/down 15 [1] 1.5 km (10 / km)
shoes: Jalas

Orienteering race 52:06 [4] 5.13 km (10:10 / km) +150m 8:52 / km
shoes: Jalas

Spent all morning on download and then set out to run. Went on a punching start and only got 30secs notice so paniced at no 1 and made a ridiculous route choice from start wasting a couple of minutes. After that did ok apart from one place where I felt totally disorientated and another where I got too excited and stopped concentrating. Please but surprised to come 2nd.

Event: Scottish Six Days Tay 2009

Running warm up/down 22:00 [3] 2.2 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas

Didn't allow enought time to the start so had to run quite hard to get there in time.

Orienteering race 55:20 [4] 3.88 km (14:17 / km) +175m 11:39 / km
shoes: Jalas

Felt absolutely rubbish. Didn't do anything really wrong. Not sure about route choices but could barely put one foot in front of the other. Finished about 7 min down. Fed up.
