Orienteering race (Ori Show) 4:00 [5]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
First race of the Ori show. Never done once before and neither had the Orginisers, they only had one box for the first control so when all 50 people got to turned out to be a bit of a scrum!!! Luckily punched it in about 10th so wasnt to bad then just crusied around the couse as the first 15 went through to nxt round think i finished 5th.
Orienteering race (Ori Show) 4:00 [3]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
Semi Final, only top two would go through out of the 30 that where in it. Luckily this time they put out 3 boxes for the first control so wasnt so much pushing. Had to push hard in this one a Danish guy and I had same loop so we were racing together i went the wrong way out of the final pivot control which lost me about 10m to him and another Dane got in front so finished 3rd. Lucky for me they changed it from top 2 to top 3 went through. But then unlucky for me turns out i missed punched haha ohh well that will teach me
Was good fun though look forward to the nxt one

Orienteering race (WRE Long) 1:54:00 [5]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
WRE Long Event, Was such a warm day easily over the 20degrees i reackon!! I was one of the last starters, Neil started early and got back well before i had to get ready so his main hint was to take it easy at the start as it was rather tricky. Well yeah didnt help!! Blew the first one by miles think i lost 6min to others then stuffed second and 3rd and then 5th. but then started to sort myself out!! Was a bit stupid thou at one of the drink stations i decided to only have water and not my carbo shot as i would save if for the nxt time i went past well turns out i didnt go past again so just died lost more and more time from control 22 onwards think was was roughly the same time as Neil at that stage. I finished i bit back from leaders infact a long way back!!! Matthias Merz killed it and did a time of 1hr 23min like 5min clear from second. Man i wish i could run that fast!! I beat a few good people but just wish i had of had a clean run!!

Event: Portugal 'O' Meeting 2009
Orienteering 40:00 [3]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
First event in Portugal, after a interesting flight to get to Lisborn (via Faro) about a hr drive to get to event center. Was nice and warm and great to be oing even better to be some where new!!!
Note
Well rather fun day. Meet neil at airport at 6am then got on Plane. got over the top of Lisbon then to be told that we have to go to Faro as there is to much fog to land. Land in Faro to be told we are just re fueling to then go back to Lisbon. After finally arriveing in Lisbon we started to sort out car rental for me to find i cant drive as i havent had my full lience for long enough. ohh well least Piret can, they then told us we are upgraded our car. Wicked we walk out to be shwon out car to find its a tiny Nissian Mirca. hmm ok well thats not to bad if it was only two of us to fit into it. luckily with neil lying sideways we got everything in. The only reason we could is cos the boot is bigger than the inside of the car!!
Least on the nice summers days we have here we can take the roof down oooohhh baby
