Orienteering race 35:49 [3] 3.79 km (9:27 / km) +226m 7:17 / km
Middle Distance Race - Legutio - M45
Lovely beech forest, very runnable and good contour detail
Felt like I was treading water most of time and shoes not enough grip really (only brought trail and road shoes to Spain) - being hungover probably didn't help.
2-3 too far right out of 2 and lost a bit of confidence down slope and wasn't 100% sure where I crossed stream - 1 min
5-6 pushed low by fallen trees and had to climb back up to control - 40 secs
8-9 - went down re-entrant which took me too far right - 30 secs
11-12 - again too far right - 30 secs
13-14 - crossed wrong stream!! - 1 min

Orienteering race 13:26 [3] 2.81 km (4:47 / km) +31m 4:32 / km
Night Sprint Race - Dona Casilda - Abandoibarra, Bilbao
Very good fun sprint race through parks in centre of Bilbao - good course with plenty of short legs and direction changes
Lost 5 secs on 2 as read stream as path initially!!
Not straight enough on 7 to 8 - 5 secs
Confused by which path was on to 13 - 5 secs
SIAC didn't register going through 14 (may not have got close enough) so had to turn and re-punch - 5 secs
Round instead of straight to 20 - 15 secs
5th - 1:06 behind Jason and 20 secs behind Andy

Spare light not bright enough for hills, so did my own thing in end
Pyramid - 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 1 minute with 1 minute recovery
Miss counted on way down and did a 2 minute instead of a 3 minute
Not pushing that hard

Orienteering race 1:16:09 [3] 12.13 km (6:17 / km) +250m 5:41 / km
November Classic/Southern Champs - Course 3 (M45/M50) - 9.9km
A little bit better, but still scrappy (but so was everyone else!) and didn't feel I was running with any pace (still a bit wary of hips/glutes/quad on right leg).
No.1 - too far left out of start, but probably worked out ok as good approach into control from top of hill - possibly lost 20 secs
No.3 - In right area just searching for control - 30 secs
No. 4 - missed path at start of leg as very indistinct and covered in fallen leaves, then again looking for control slightly left - 40 secs
No. 5 again scrappy in circle - confused by thickets - 30 secs
No. 7 drifted right out of 6, so then ended up on paths rather than straighter to large stream - 1 min
No. 8 Got caught in rhodies coming out of 7 - 30 secs
No. 9 - should have stayed on rides, rather than edge of marsh on last approach to control - 1 min
No. 10 - totally confused by mapping of gorse bushes, and ended up too far left - 2 mins
No. 11 very poor route - changed mind for some reason from obvious quicker route - 1:30
No.12 - good route. just hidden control at end and iffy vegetation mapping - 1 minute
No. 16 - Don't ask!! - 45 secs
