Also paddled a bit in the harbour in a kayak, which may well be what we look at buying in the future at some time.

First starter. Nice and straight to the rocks at 1 but then didn't pick the right piece of rock at all. Fluffed around for a minute or so, fully expecting to see Tom by the time I found the right boondie. Clean enough into 2 and 3 although slowly through the green crap.
After that it really opened up and I think I was fairly clean for all of it. Craig zoomed past around 7 and then I was also trailing Rachel most of the way to 8. We pretty much hit 8 at the same time, both huffing and puffing after the long leg.
I think all of my decisions after that were good and it would seem that I eventually managed to claw my way into the lead. It's got to be the strangest set of splits I've seen - everyone of the six of us was in the lead at some stage and barely seconds separating us at the end. Glad I kept running!

Orienteering race 44:50 [5] 5.61 km (8:00 / km) +125m 7:12 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300 Red/Blue
Bit later to the start than hoped but only a few minutes in it. Started very cautiously, figuring that it could all go pear shaped in that first group of controls. Hit the first 5 quite cleanly, if a little slowly. Took the left hand fence run to 6 which seemed the better option. A few elephant trails in some areas meant the late start had a bit of help.
Started feeling like the concentration might be wavering into 10, but hit that cleanly too. Smashed up to 12 and then map in pocket up to 13 as I had seen it on the way to 10. From there on straight seemed the best option and that's pretty much what I did.
Saw Sten in the distance on the way to 17 and then at 17, although that threw me a bit as I thought he was heading out of the control when he was actually heading towards it on the other end of the cliff I was on. Complete fail on seeing the fence option to 18 and ended up checking the rocks too early.
Figured that had cost me the chance of catching Sten, but saw him at 20 and then just went balls out for the rest of the course.
Great course, enjoyed it from start to finish. Thanks Juffles!

One of my favourite maps and really enjoyed the run today. Managed to see the eagle in its nest in between 11 and 12 and a bee hive coming out of 17.
Only felt like one real error today - lost contact on the way to 15. Managed to find a control in the vaguest of a gullies and then pick where that would be and went back to my control.
Not feeling overly fast and had a few coughing fits too. Being only 22 minutes behind fenry was closer than I thought it would be.

Orienteering 49:54 [3] 6.3 km (7:55 / km) +129m 7:11 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300 Red/Blue
Had intended to do the H1 today, but my back seized as we arrived and it looked like I wouldn't be doing anything. Followed the boys on the VE I couldn't even run, let alone keep up with them. It warmed up a bit, so I thought I give the H3 a go.
Off I hobbled at walking pace even along the tracks. Even the smallest trips on branches caused shooting pains in my lower back. Eventually it warmed up enough to maintain about half pace, which was really annoying in the really open terrain.
It seemed like a decent course, but wasn't real hard at half pace.
And Ceri beat me. No respect.
