Orienteering race (Urban) 38:20 [5] 4.7 km (8:09 / km) +175m 6:53 / km
shoes: Adrenaline GTS 11
Went out hard trying to get under 40 mins. Went a bit too fast as ended up running right passed 3 and had to back track. So much for a clean run all week...
Smooth and fast running from then onwards, even jogging up the hills. A few route choices missed, but happy with running especially after long week.
Carnival in the afternoon and evening was one to savour.

Orienteering race (Teifi) 1:12:01 [4] 7.0 km (10:17 / km) +275m 8:36 / km
shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
Messed up number 1. Too high, didn't realise for ages, lost ~12mins. Sort of tried really hard after that to catch up, but with no serious conviction, just fast running and little navigating. Saying that from 1 to finish was roughly 7th quickest. Decided to go scenic around lake, turns out was actually best route. Fell into a mud stream up to my waist, which summed up the race...
Not a single clean run out in the open all week...

To Teifi then Devil's Bridge. Really enjoyed the cycle ride, not what I can say about the orienteering. Such a gorgeous day again. Just didn't realise what a climb it would be to Devil's Bridge along the B4343.
Well worth the £2 to see the bridge and waterfall.

Orienteering race (Teifi) 1:03:22 [3] 6.9 km (9:11 / km) +260m 7:44 / km
shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
First day at Teifi which went alright. Not completely clean. Messed up long leg by getting utterly and completely confused. Made a 90 degree error. Some how ended up on the optimum route so didn't loose too much time. Discovered early on it was quicker around the marshes then through. Pleased to beat Burley by a minute.

Orienteering (Hafod) 38:34 [5] 3.7 km (10:25 / km) +165m 8:31 / km
shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
Felt fast, really enjoyed the forest challenge of running over logs etc. Much prefer wooded areas to open. Still managed to mess up 7 and 10. So still no clean run at Croeso. Despite that came in at a respectable time and good splits towards end show I still had the legs.

Cycling 2:20:00 [3] 50.0 km (21.4 kph)
Tywyn - Aberdovey for cooked breakfast. To Furnace for orienteering. To Aberystwyth to camp site. Legs very tired at this point and in need of rest.
Orienteering (Foel Goch) 1:01:42 [3] 6.4 km (9:38 / km) +180m 8:27 / km
shoes: Inov-8 oroc 280
Mentally not there. Physically tired. Not great at all and then I skipped 12 because mentally I was one step ahead of myself. Enough cycling to events for a while.
