Awesome day racing. Really enjoyed the toughness of the race and how technical it was. Felt like I managed my speed well and pushed at the right times. Made about 10 minutes of mistakes (6 minutes on number 5 and 3 minutes on number 13. Did the long leg really well, took 30 seconds to plan my leg. Then took 10 minutes out of tom f and treb. Really enjoyed the race because it was long and tough and the heat was another challenge to over come.

Good run. No mistakes, just hesitations. Changed my speed well. Speeded up on the open bits which I am used to and then slowing down in the technical areas. Had my best race of the week. Came 9th 5 mins down on the leader.

Orienteering on the side of skiddaw. Got told it had 250m of climb but it had 390, lots of climbing and felt slow all way round. No mistakes which was good. Slipped on a rock and smashed my shin towards the end which hurt. Good run out anyway.

Day 6.

Best result of the week. Really enjoyed the area. Had to keep contact with the map and even more on the downhill legs. Considering I felt rough all the way round after last night I was pleased with my race. Was able to push all the way round. Lost time with some bad routechoices and being low for some controls.

Over the week, pleased with my strength in the terrain and my orienteering was good but need to stop the big mistakes. Also pleased in the later races how I pushed after making mistakes.

Day 5

Was off very early which was a huge disadvantage. Tried to push throughout the race but couldnt because of the heavy undergrowth. Didnt really make any mistakes. One bad routechoice in the middle. Ended up 8th but everyone infront of me went later on so not to bothered.

Orienteering 1:17:00 [5] 9.0 km (8:33 / km) +335m 7:13 / km

Day 4.

Another good day but frustrating again because I lost the race in one control. Was winning again by 2 mins and then lost 4/5 minutes on number 7. Pleased with myself how I reacted to my mistake. I knew I had enough distance in the race left to try and bring it back. Pushed hard and also slowed down in the last bit so I didnt make any mistakes. Ended up 4th but Tom beat me by two seconds and only 1 min 37 down on Peter.

Day 3.

Really enjoyed today as the area was both physical and technical. Found a nice pace were I was orienteering well. Frustrated about my final position after being 2 minutes ahead of everyone else before making my mistake. Still pleased that most of my orienteering was good and fast.

Day two. Middle distance race.

Awful race. Lost 10 minutes on number 4 and after that I knew I was out of the race so I just went around the rest trying not to make mistakes but still made mistakes. Pleased for Tom getting himself a nice win.
