Orienteering race 2:24:56 [3]
shoes: Jalas Olway
WOC long trial
Holme fell, Lakes
Lost time at #3 (really stupid) and route to #9 early, went north, when i'm sure south would've been quicker. Then on the long leg, was out early, and thought the fell may be pretty rough on the top, as the only stuff i'd seen so far was. So went all the way down the track, nearly to the big pond, before cutting up to the saddle. Think this cost me a couple of mins as the top was pretty quick with little unmarked tracks. Compeltly bombed my first one in the phi, i went straight up the middle first, and under estimated the tricknesses of this bit. and stopped short, thought i'd spotted the track beyond, but hadn't and failed to relocate and lost 6 mins... Then just slow through the rest. Was slightly arrgrived that jon M caught me up, he got pretty close at #13 and passed me early in the phi. Just struggled physically, had nothing for the hills or terrain.
Loads of people pulled out, and my placing was about par. but really annoyed at my big mistake, it was poor. had a good time, i enjoyed the course and terrain.
Would need to do more hills living down here... infact i havn't done any this year.
winner oli 97.56

Orienteering 52:55 [4] 5.2 km (10:11 / km) +310m 7:50 / km
shoes: Jalas Olway
Bigland, Lakes
WOC selection race
My first time on this area, and only my 2nd race in the lakes.
Couldn't get into it at all at the start. had massive issues on #2, went to it, relocated off road, back to it, before going beyond the control and looking back to it... massive bush in the way. Tried to compensate on #3 and spannered it. Various other mistakes pre #8. then got it together technically, but struggled physically. Some brutal climbs, and i had nothing in me.
Enjoyed the terrain, it kinda suited me.
Other hilarous mistake was thinking that black circle was a rock pillar, and smashing it down the hilll to 7, and wondering where the rock pillar was... Alas it was a platform.
Winner scott fraser 35.49, me 37th
