Note
(rest day)
Walked up Schiehallion for mum's 60th birthday. Mixture of sun and beautiful views and horizontal sleet/snow. Pretty snowy and exposed on the top so didn't stay there long, just enough time for mum to see the champange we carried up. Had lunch and champagne half way down in a nice sheltered spot instead.
Not very restful but good family fun day out :)

JK Relay. It wasn't Maireads day and I went out ~10 mins down. Decided just to run hard and go for a clean, attacking run and a good time. Really enjoyed it. Bananaed a bit up the hill to 1 (5s), turned too early on the way to 3 (5s), was slow contouring to 5 and ended up climbing a bit unecessarily mid leg (25s). other than that it went really well, took a nice line to 8. Quads aching a bit after the downhill yesterday but other than that all good and really enjoyed it. A shame not to be in the mix but lots of fun anyway :)

JK Long, 6th place again (but 5th overall)
a bit slow to 1 getting into the map, 3 I got stuck in some windblown (15s), got offline leaving 4 but once I corrected the rest of the route to 5 went well. 6 I had a mare, didn't quite go far enough but there was so much more in that block of green than is mapped (2:45), hesitant to 9 (15s), good long leg to 11, a bit hesitant going into 12 (10s), went the wrong way round the bush at the end going to 14 (5s). Got really excited on these downhill legs as we were near the finish and i was feeling good but consequently i didn't read the map enough and binned loads of time. Very annoyed with myself. 15 lost 45s going into and back out of the rhodies twice, then went to two wrong bush controls before my own at 16 (50s). Claire and HP almost caught me here but just managed to stay in front to the end.

Running 25:00 [1] 3.0 km (8:20 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black (red) 2
warm up, to the start and a bit on the warm up map. TImes a guess as not allowed gps watches as world ranking even though a lot of people did wear them...
Orienteering 35:34 [4] 5.0 km (7:07 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black (red) 2
JK Middle distance. 6th again.
Too low on 1 and couldn't get things to fit. Binned a minute and quite annoyed with myself. Wonky on the way to 2 (10s) then got it together and good through 3, 4 and 5. Went right past the marsh to 6 but straight was probably quicker. Hesitant to 7 (10s) then we had an easy few. Got really confused going to 12 (30s). Tired going up the hill to 16 but route was ok then wobbled slightly at the end on the way to 18. Not very pleased with myself but the first part was fun at least.

JK Sprint. Good fun but definitely not the best urban sprint in britain! Missed the best route to 3 but didn't lose too much time. The rest of the buildings section went well but lost time (15s) hesitating on the way to 16 and more time on 18 (15s) by taking a bad route after trying to work out what veg we were and weren't allowed through. Hollie caught me here and we alternated lead to the end. Lost maybe a few seconds on 21 but otherwise good. 6th place.
