orienteering 33:00 [4] *** 6.09 km (5:25 / km) +132m 4:53 / km
20c
First twenty controls of this - http://omaps.worldofo.com/index.php?id=124567
Some nice narrow cobbled streets descending to an agitated sea, cute painted houses, and then some dilapidated social housing areas, good training for next weekend. Also got some SIAC practice in. Some lack of focus around 9/10, mostly ok besides that. Print quality wasn't.
Fun. Skipped the last few controls, as it was turning into a longer session than I needed.

Hotel in Porto is a bit strange. Yesterday, they didn't have the key to my room but said it might be there in the door, some guy had it earlier to replace the key. Nope, so back down to reception to get a cleaning lady to let me back in.
Today, I come back, the door is wide open, there's some dust on the floor from drilling, I go out and get the cleaning lady to hoover it up. Meanwhile, all the other doors on the floor are wide open and the full set of room keys is sitting on a table.

19c
Most of a Porto city race course in the old town, with lots of hills and churches and cobbles and cafés and stairs and passages and shtuff.
Don't have QR on this computer.
Felt fit for the first time in a good while, though my left ham was twinging a little.
Conference is good. Scored an invite to Rio from one of the main speakers, unfortunately not coinciding with my brother's wedding.

23c
Nearest map to the hotel. My brain wasn't working particularly well, not enough sleep? Or just terrible at orienteering.
No QR for the moment, bu this is the course - http://omaps.worldofo.com/index.php?id=57825
Tricky enough.
A couple of gates were closed. More seriously, the Solar do Vinho do Porto has closed down.

Le Grand Roc, Semnoz.
Slowroute!
Idea was to do 3/4 of the WC long from 2010. Heading to the start, I realised I'd left my compass in the car. Not sure if it was that or just general poor navigation, but I failed miserably in the map-reading department.
Mistakes on all the first 5 controls. A couple of times I though I was navigating into the control nicely only to be elsewhere. 6 through 9 went better, but by that stage I was done.
