Orienteering (Training) 1:00:00 [3] ***
1st Day of Training - The Hermitage
We started of by running a bit of a course around The Hermitage. The main point was to make plans and stick to them, which wasn't too hard. It was hard to run because of a lot of fallen trees, but nice training.

I went with Aoife around the first 8 controls of the M21E course, and we did pretty awful in places, especially one control in particular where I'm not completely sure what happened, but it was fun :)

Orienteering race 17:34 [4] ** 1.9 km (9:15 / km)
shoes: Icebug Spirit Olx
JK Day 4, Newtyle Hill - Relays
I ran 2nd Leg in the Women's Short with Niamh and Ruth. I was really happy with my run after, all the legs were pretty short and fast. I was a bit slow for the 1st control, up the hill, but I'm happy with the rest of the course :)

JK Day 3, Craig a Barns and Crieff Hill.
I did absolutely terrible on Day 3. The course was hard in places. I ran the completely wrong way to the 1st control, and even after I realised I still messed the control up after ending up in some pretty horrible vegetation. Starting off to number 2, I ran the wrong way again. The next few controls were OK, but I had a kinda dodgy route to 4. Rest of the controls were fine, but I never really got into the course, I wasn't really trying hard since I was kinda dissapointed in controls 1 and 2.

Orienteering race 51:50 [4] 3.9 km (13:17 / km)
shoes: Icebug Spirit Olx
JK Day 2, Dunastair.
I started off slow and careful, since this was my first ever race being a W16. I think that paid off until the 4th control, where I lost around 2 or 3 minutes. I took a bearing but I got kinda confused with a vegetation change and I lost my direction, but I find some features to relocate off and I got it fine after that. The rest of the race was OK, with just a few small errors in the circle, but I was slow, especially on the uphills.

Orienteering race 17:24 [4] 1.9 km (9:09 / km)
JK Sprint, Livingston Almondvale.
I started off pretty well in the little area with all the building and courtyards, but at No. 15 I lost about a minute or so after a small mistake. Then the course went over to the other side of the river, and I was just completely tired and a lot slower than I'd liked to have been running. I really enjoyed the course apart from my mistakes and it was pretty fun :)
