Event: Burnham Beeches National Event
 

Really good race round, the navigation was good, probably could have gone a bit faster, but was feeling a bit tired. Concentrated on the technical couldnt really do much about the navigation.

lost to fastest
1
G: Quick start, and aiming off through terrain
B: Started intending to aim off right, but actually aimed of left. Was allright though because I realised. Would have lost more time, but saw the control
T:02:47 Time loss?:00:30 Actual time loss to fastest: 00:28
2
G:Nice straight route, excecuted perfectly with good rough compass
B: A bit slow through the undergrowth and trees
06:41 00:15 00:28
3
G:Good visualisation of the control site, and safe route into control. Didn?t get put off too much by the first path.
B: Probably followed the earthwalls too much, and so not quickest route. Wasn?t as certain as I should have been from ap
05:10 00:45 00:26
4
G:Really straight route to the control, good visualisation
B:wasn?t really as precise as I could/should have been.may have been quicker to do path route
02:53 00:15 00:08
5
G:Good route down path under line, and spiked the control
B:lucky to realise there was a path under the line. Probably should have been broken
02:49 00:05 00:00
6
G:Good flow into the control, nice easy route
B:May have been quicker to go on lower path. Bit hesitant down the path, though I knew I hadnt got there yet, as I was pacing
02:18 00:20 00:10
7
G:Really good flow out of 6 and to the attack point
B:may have got lucky by seeing it from path
01:17 00:10 00:03
8
G:relocation and strong up the hill
B:went too far left and so wanst as straight as I should have been. Also got put off by other control-was obviously not mine
02:25 00:30 00:14
9
G:smooth route into control, good contact with the map.
B:got put off at veg boundaries due to different trees, when I should have known I was right. Hesitant at bottom of slope
05:58 00:30 00:12
10
G:straight route and good contact with the map
B:didn?t really have a secure attack point, so probably lost some time. Also was vague and so not confident and fast across slope. Maybe quicker to go round paths.
06:59 01:20 01:11
11
G:Spiked the control exactly. Visualisation excellent
01:26 00:00 00:04
12
G:Really good, easy last control.

Event: Interland
 

Event: JOK Chasing Sprint
 

I felt tired and wasnt very good. Made a few mistakes

Really good dash round with alice and florence. was navigating the whole way so was good, realised a few mistakes made by others and went the right way. Felt really strong.

Kent Night Cup street race round tonbridge. Mass start hour score. not that many controls around, so just set off for a bit of a run round. Was weird doing it without zoe and dad, and probably slower
was feeling pretty tired but legs were moving ok.
Oh and the small matter that I beat jonny. By ALOT. and cos he hasnt written, it just to point out he came 17th out of 26 (i was 6th and first lady/junior) shocking. but very very funny.

Did jacks b course at the army event at turf hill. Was fast, but navigation was really easy. had a look at the british area on other side of the road while running along the road and looked pretty much the same.

Did it slowly and concentrated on getting lots of good bearings in, so went really well
