Results
Started cautiously enough, thinking about the knee but built into it. It stung going through the deep "marshes" but otherwise no complaints. Orienteering was another matter however. When I was paying attention I was pretty great and having good flow in the earlier parts of the course. 10 was a disaster though and I ran double the distance of the leg before actually looking for the control. Had a very good spell then until 22. Solid flow and good leg speed. Mucked it up again though as I did 22-24-23-24. Totally misread the map and was on my way to 25 from 23 when I realised something was up and had to fix it. Dropped about 1:20 here and then a further 30s on 25 as I was too busy worrying about whether I punched 22 or 25 earlier and still being confused about my line to the control. On another positive I was well able to run for the last bit, even if now I was undershooting instead of overshooting. The 1:5000 was really getting to me and I had a good wander on 28. Good legs to the finish again and was sensible on 29. Saw Gina running to the last control so had to push hard to pass her on the run in.
Like Spain, positives and negatives. Running definitely a positive and orienteering when I'm switched on was also very good. I seem to have migrated to spike or huge mistake, from few spikes and lots of misses. Dropping over 8 minutes to superman, not so good. At the same time, no one had a clean run but I don't know what to read form that.

Cuts on the knee stingy from sand and salt water but otherwise seemed mostly ok.
