Normal PE we did 800m which I jogged with my friends as it was the day after the big weekend :L so got about 5 minutes whic tbh wasnt that bad for jogging haha.. also two relays which were good.

Then we did rounders skills and random shit.. properly funny accually best PE in ages :)

We do double on a monday so that explains the mass amounts of sport...

(Lack of sleep due to getting in at 2 from the r1bw)

Event: British Orienteering Championships
 

Run up to the start from assembly in the british champs.

Warm up for the British Champs, kinda explained in more detail on the accual race log thing..

Read it.

Oh dear, I dont really want to say anything just that I had a really bad bad race..

Tbh my season hasnt been so great this year and I was pretty disapointed because I know I can do the running it's just everytime I get distracted and it just goes down from there. I dont know why... I keep telling everyone that 'its okey cos i'm a first year' but when people I know I can beat keep doing better than me it gets me down pretty bad...
I just want to do great in Italy, which was my aim for this year and hopefully all the work will have paided of for then and maybe just maybe I might have a nice, clean and good run for once :)

Anyway on with the race..

Felt really good, had a pretty long 25ish minute warm up with every stretch I could think of and zoned well remembering where the people on my course went on the first control and everything

Number one was really great, I saw kathrine (bett) who set of 1 minute ahead of me and was only a few seconds behind her punching number 1 and 2 :) We were toghether and I overtook her on the way to number three which as i was going so fast I didnt concentrate on the control and then went in to far and got lost even on the easiest control, then finally after 10 minutes mopping around found it.

The problem I have is that I give up and begin the think about random other stuff like clothes and random shit, so number 4 went crap too and I wasted another 10 minutes on that even though it also was easy and I must have seen the control site at least 5 times I just didnt think it was there as to me it was a bush not a knoll as it was supposed to be and the veg boundary was really vague.

No 5 was okey and no 6 went okey too ish.... it really was a crap race, but the rest were the same, not concentrating and misjudging the difficulty of the controls when I got to the going into hard plans and attack points when really all I needed to do was just traffic light rather than 'complecating it up' ... The rest were good I guess apart from my route on the long leg to number 11 or something across the river ( ive lost the map :L ) (for now) which took me up the wrong open and into some random bushes and loads of crap ground ..

I felt good for the rest of the course as I said, by that time I had got into it but was pretty tired after going round and round so im gonna say I did 7km even though it was 5.2 :L this is how wrong I went.


I would love to say I didnt care, but I was like 25th out of 30 and was pretty embarrased to say the least.. It was just annoying when I was 4th going into number 1 and 2 ...

What fun.. wish me luck in Italy :L

A kind of low training race on Ling Fell, Cockermouth.

Was pretty easy and hardly any climb but I did that short so I wasn't to tired for the BC.

Was accually first by 6 minutes :) Which felt really good after my crap year. From the bottom to the top eh ;)

Nicee race, long, good controls and felt very fit and ready for the weekend.

Looked at maps for british and world schools, techniques revison ect..
