Note
slept:8.0
Ordered some new O-shoes (with grip aidan) Adidas Swoops (Green), got disqualified on the British Champs (and got shouted at by Dean because of it) and completed my second ever string course, quite an eventful day.
10 AM
Orienteering race (String course) 7:07 [5] ***** 0.7 km (10:10 / km)
spiked:0/11c shoes: Salomon Contagrip Fell Shoes
Soo difficult, and physically demanding. I decided to team up with Adam Potter and Sam Horswill because we didnt feel we were up to the challenge of getting round this most technical of courses alone.
It was good fun though, i saw pigglet and tigger and a baloon! and I got a Lollypop! =)
=L ;) jkin it was a laugh (but the string went wrong!! =O)

12 PM
Orienteering race (BRITISH!!) 1:02:19 [4] *** 9.15 km (6:49 / km) +250m 6:00 / km
spiked:12/18c shoes: Salomon Contagrip Fell Shoes
Yeah, the british. everything twas good =) (mostly)
I had 3 goals- 1 beat zac
2- Catch alex M 12min
3- Have a decent run
I didnt beat zac but im not that bothered about that one, i didnt catch alex 12min, but i did have a decent run and enjoyed it (minus miss punching- oops!)
Because of all the map geeking i knew how to take the area and got some good route choices which suited me well. Also though i did make a few mistakes.
3- Overshot 30s
6- (Didnt check control codes) Thought it was a hill and it was a depression, realised immediately and tried to find the depression but missed it about 3 times 1min 50s
8- (Didnt check control codes) Miss punched on a control on a steep slope when i was looking for an earth bank.
9- Slow
10- Disorientated, went the wrong way out for 150m so had to choose another route choice (dunno time loss its almost impossible to tell)
15-Overshot (must have gone within 5m of the control) 1min 40s
Total 4minutes
I used the garmin for the times this time and its surprising because i got a total of 2min 15s mistakes by guessing.
Really enjoyed the event though i didnt go 100% because i could feel my hip most of the way and didnt want to push it for today or tomorrow.
