Orienteering 1:45:00 [4] 10.0 km (10:30 / km) +440m 8:36 / km
shoes: VJ Bolds - Yellow
Messed up the first control, forgetting about the change in scale and stopping far too early. Then caught up to the Ukranian who started before me and a Chinese girl at 2. Ended up being stuck with them for the rest of the course. I was doing a lot of the navigating, but just couldn't run away from them cos the terrain was so slow and rough. Such amazing views on the long leg across the open. An austrian girl caught us on the way to 12, and all of a sudden we could suddenly run faster. Sort of shocked us out of the automatic plod we'd gotten into. Finished in 42nd place, to almost keep my placings consistent!

3rd leg with Lizzie first leg and Renee second.
Absolutely loved this map. Just running along grinning the whole way. Pulled us up from 19th to 14th, and nearly outsprinted the Spanish girl. But the NZ supporters ruined my stealth approach ;)

Pretty happy with my first WOC forest race. Navigation was good, just didn't have anything left in my legs to run fast through the rough terrain after all the sprints. Felt like I was orienteering in slow motion most of the way. Out-sprinted the Italian girl again (from a few controls out this time), for the 2nd time this week. ;) Could feel my side beginning to cramp up again on the last couple of controls, but managed to hold it off.
A much happier 40th place than the sprint final.

Best sprint race I've done in a while, navigating well, running strongly. 10th place at control 10 with all the hard alleyway section complete. Then disaster struck and got one of the worst stitches I've ever had. Basically crawled/walked my way around the remainder of the course and dropped all the way down to 40th :'( Only made slightly amusing by the Norwegian who started 1min behind me running past, then messing up the second to last control massively and coming back past again in the finish chute!

4th leg for the NZL team with Lizzie, Gene and Tim. Started in 14th position with Estonia and Latvia. Quickly went past them and running well through the tricky alleyways in the first half. Got told there were 2 girls just in front of me at the arena passage, but didn't really believe them cos I hadn't seen anyone else out there. But in the last loop around the park, I could see an Italian girl in front and set my sights on catching her. Punched the 2nd to last control behind, then pushed as hard as I could up the hill to get in front. Which meant the team finished in 12th place :)

Qualified in 4th place in my heat so really happy :) Race went pretty well, got a bit flustered at the start when a van pulled out in front of Maja and I. But from number 3 onwards it was good. Second half of the course was just a running race, which was tough.
