Orienteering (SEJS attack points) 17:00 [3] 1.4 km (12:09 / km)

Was my first course of the day and it went good I picked out my attack points well apart from number 3, but talked it through with Julia and it was good and sorted. The area was a bit horrible but i attacked it!

Orienteering (SEJS route choice) 40:00 [3] 3.6 km (11:07 / km)

This was to make me think about attack points too and working on planning backwards on my leg which i didn't do before. You're mean to CAR but I CRA! So i pick my route before my attack point but I should be picking my attack point first then planning the route.
This course was good apart from I went down the wrong path at no. 1, but corrected myself alright. Then on 2 & 4 me and Julia tried different routes and the ones I though were best were fastest both times so that was good and a confidence booster.

Orienteering (SEJS visualisation) 18:00 [3] 1.7 km (10:35 / km)

Cut the visualisation short because Julia had to leave early, which was a bit annoying cos when we got back she didn't leave for a while and I could have done all of it. But used my skills from the other 2 exercises and it went good.
Talked about my weaknesses and strengths with Julia & Keith too, and i think i get distracted by other people and thinking about racing. My hesitation, confidence and control flow has improved throughout the year so thats good.

Orienteering (SEJS sprint race) 23:29 [4] 2.4 km (9:47 / km)

This was different to what we normally do in the afternoon but it was good practise for sprint racing on a 1:5000 map, even if it was in the wood not a university type place. Messed up no. 4 which lost me like 2 mins and for a bit of it felt quite ill cos it was too soon after eating, but it was good.

Orienteering warm up/down (warm up) 5:00 [2]

Did a small jog around for the warm up, but used the beginning of the attack points course for a warm up too.
