Orienteering race 34:41 [4] *** 5.1 km (6:48 / km)
19c shoes: Adidas Swoop - old
JK Relay, 3rd leg for BOK Ladies.
12th place. Hanne and Isla (a junior running up) both had solid runs and were pleased to have better runs than the day before. I was hoping for this also but went out and missed most of the first 8 controls (lots of messing around in the circles - particularly c5 - 2mins - really weird in there). Never mind.

Orienteering race 1:13:55 [4] **** 10.4 km (7:06 / km) +290m 6:14 / km
24c shoes: Adidas Swoop - old
JK Long, Braunton Burrows.
Lost 1min in the control circle at c1, then 3mins in the circle at c2. Couldn't read the map, couldn't see the features. I tried to identify my precise location (I was in the circle somewhere), then I ran around and checked all the unmapped depressions, then I stood there for a while, then I ran around and checked all the depressions again! Bizarre. Could kind of read some features after that, so was a little more smooth to c12 where Sarah passed me. Tried to run with Sarah but failed. Managed 3rd though and 3rd overall.

Orienteering race 15:59 [5] *** 2.8 km (5:43 / km) +40m 5:20 / km
20c shoes: Adidas Swoop - old
JK Sprint, Bicton College.
5th, not a bad run, 10secs off 2nd and 30 off 1st so 'in the mix'. Thought I started off slow because I was hating all the mud and thought it was slowing me down. But actually I was doing ok by c7. Then I enjoyed the controls around the college but was maybe a bit slow reading the map and cornering, etc (slippery shoes). Lost maybe 8secs on c17 - just got a slow line? So no mistakes really but just a little disappointed with the slipperiness of it all as I was up for a fast sprint.
A man died today during the race which was really sad.
