Middle Race
Started off at a better pace than the other middle races but started to feel the weeks training going to number 10. Not helped on the way to 11 when a fence I was climbing broke I kept hold of the top wire of the fence to stop myself landing on rocks but the wires cut into all my fingers. Didn't realise though until the map started sticking to all the blood on my hand in the next few legs.
Lost about 2mins in the rest of the course due to mistakes but the main problem today was just to keep running.

Orienteering 1:30:08 [3] 16.0 km (5:38 / km) +600m 4:45 / km
shoes: X-Talons
Not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Lost about 8 minutes, half due to a control which was on the wrong boulder. Was about 15m away from where it should have been, most people found it without wasting any time. Annoyed but I was not going to complain, rather take the ranking points.
Positive note, felt strong and finished the course at the same speed at which I started.
Orienteering 17:54 [5] 4.0 km (4:29 / km)
shoes: X-Talons
Night Sprint 3.2km
Pushed hard and only made 1 small 10s mistake, also 2 route choices which could have saved me a few more seconds. Ended up 10th so best result of the trip.

Day 4
7.8km
A fair run. Feeling tired. Lost a minute on no.10 but still would have wanted to run a bit faster than that. Maybe didn't push it hard enough in the first half.

Easy bit of training after the long race.
