Orienteering 1:00:00 [2] 3.0 km (20:00 / km)
Putting out mini kites on Beaudesert for what had originally been planned as a joint WJS & WMJS training day, but ended up with only one Welshie and a duel national at that.
Shocked to see a big area of newly felled light green - too young to be harvested - presumably disease management. Also how rough and brambly other bits were. Testament I guess to how well the JK planners kept us in the best bits and/or explanation as to why there was quite a bit of path running there.

Easy with Alice around the golf course. Had intended to come back via the Canal, but had forgotten that they have closed to the tow path for a few weeks while they do some work.

POM Day 4 - Long Race at Quaios
A reprise of all the various terrain types from the previous days . Started well again - actually leading race at 5 according to winsplits - but blew 80s at 7 - a little bit of oxygen debt after climbing a short hill and didn't properly read vegetation at top of ridge and turned wiong way . Fortunately had sense to relocate quite quickly on a big clearing beyond the control . Then getting progresively more tired - especially in the thicker heathery bits near the end. A couple of bad direction errors leaving both 16 and 17 resulting in fairly significnat bananas - a minute each. So a bit dissapointing really . Should and could have done better.
But overall not too disheartened. A really enjoyable set of races. Things to work on, but I am not too far off where I want to be.

Orienteering 25:00 [3] 2.5 km (10:00 / km)
Warm up map available - WRE - so availed myself of the opportunity and found a few controls.
10 AM
Orienteering race 33:33 [4] 4.88 km (6:52 / km) +55m 6:30 / km
POM Day 3 - another middle race.
Early start, and first half in much greener terrain, so concentrated on trying to keep it clean. A couple of 15s wobbles, but basically succeeded and rewarded with my best result of the competition - 3rd.

POM Day 2 - Middle at Quiaios.
A much better performance - Clean thru the first 9 controls - very fast and open - set map, look up and run. A bit of a glitch on transition to more bushy and vaguer terrain at 10 - perhaps 50s - but that was probably the warning I needed to be much more carefull with my direction for the last 8 controls.
