Orienteering race 13:48 [3] 2.91 km (4:45 / km) +23m 4:34 / km
British Sprint Heat - M50 B Heat
Started ok and was actually in lead after no. 6
6-7 went down steps part of way to sports pitches and turned back - 10 secs
9-10 was running with a guy from Lei (who it turned out worked on the campus) who got to 9 just in front - I went to go east to 10 but he went west, so I stupidly hesitated and saw way through - it turned out to be slower any way - 20 secs
15-16 retraced steps back out of control rather than going right and then exacerbated error by not seeing gap, so running a lot further around buildings - 20 secs
7th in heat, so just missed out on qualifying for A Final - frustratingly I started same time as Matthew Owen and Paul Taylor who both qualified, despite finishing well after me (unfortunately luck of the draw, but doesn't feel right still!!)

Orienteering race 12:44 [3] 2.27 km (5:37 / km) +39m 5:10 / km
British Sprint M50 - B Final
First few ok
Confused coming out of 4 and a little bit out of control - ended up going up steps SE of 4 and in to 5 from SE - 30 secs
5 -6 - didn't see gap in hedge to right of line (why does this feel like an eyesight test all the time), so went too far left - 15 secs
Caught Ifor at 9 - but hesitated just before control, as briefly lost track of where I was - 10 secs
Hesitated into 15, punching the control just before mine first
2nd - 1 second behind Mark Chapman (who I beat by 1 second in heat)
We were well ahead (45 seconds) of 3rd (who had also been in our heat in morning)
