| trail run 1:02:50 [3] | |
| chateau de meridon etc; easy going most of the time, but went fast as poss for a couple of minutes on teh way back, really felt like i was motoring, faster than i'd run in a while... but all is subjective. if there's something to it, it's possibly JAM's leg exercises | ||

| Larchant, la 77
organised by jrora and cdco77 on one of the most fun maps in the region. great stuff, enjoyed it lots even if i was knackered halfway through... possibly because of the late evening jog the day before. first mistake was control 3, went to it but didn't see it, nicely wedged... 14 more mistakes put me 30 minutes behind Fabrice Erdinger, and 1 behind Celine dion... still, got 20 euros and a suitcase as 3rd man :) orienteering is great!!! | ||

| domaine de sedieres
Championnats de France des Clubs Division 2 Last leg - Depart en masse... messed up controls nine and 13 and was on my own from then on... marshy place, pity it didn't count for anything. Last place, but there were enough mispunches among other teams that we don't get relegated. | ||
Saturday May 20 | ||
| orienteering race 1:00:00 [4] **** 6 km (10:00 / km) | |
| 20c | ||
| horsed this race up right royally. hopefully due to the jetlag. wking up at 3:45 am and not going back to sleep is not great physical or mental preparation for racing...
but it was deceptivley technical - spurs protruding into marshes and varied, sometimes low-vis, forest had me well lost on the way to the normally simple seond control. Although a large part of it was due to awful technique, running w/o knowing where i was going... oh well. a couple of more mistakes in the rain on controls 1, 3, 4, 5 and the race was well lost, outside the top 60 i was... | ||

| BILLYGOAT
Macedonia State PArk, Kent, CT US orienteering at its best... well, terrain was only reasonable, the the billygoat is special!!! running with JohnF and Boris most of the way... John broke ahead on the 20th, didn't see him again... Boris and I then bust ourselves trying to catch him... we didn't, I led by a couple of metres the last couple of controls and held on to it to win my first race on american soil....... and accomplish one of every self-respecting orienteer's lifetime goals... winning a goat! Besides the orienteering, it was great to meet up with all the american irishrussianbyelorussianhaitianfinnish orienteers again. | ||
