Pretty casual jog around.

Orienteering race 31:00 [5]
Jwoc relay
Got put in first leg which I was pretty keen for.
Kept pretty clean through the first half so was up with the leaders until I made a little 40second miss on one of the gaffles.
Not too bad because I just jumped in with the next pack omit right up behind.
Pretty enjoyable race! Really happy with the result when we all strang together some solid runs!
Pretty happy with my jwoc overall. Finally got some results to build on but it wa pretty frustrating having some sloppy runs when I could have done really well if I kept it together

Jwoc middle final
Just a quickie write up because it's a bit shit on the iPhone.
Pretty sloppy race. Lost maybe 2mins all up in the circle on a lot of controls. Really great area though so I enjoyed it quite a lot

Orienteering race 25:30 [5] 4.2 km (6:04 / km) +130m 5:15 / km
Jwoc middle qual.
Lost a bit if time early on an then sloppy through the last ones.
Lost maybe 1.20 or so all up so I thought I was going to be pretty borderline qualifying.
Not the greatest race by me but it did the job so I can't be too disappointed!

Textbook Ian Lawford jwoc long distance blowout.
I hoped too hard for rain.. It stormed hard just while I was starting. Had massive lightening and rain when I was out in the open. Pretty cold out.
Made a huge mistake at 4. And really sloppy and unmotivated after that. Lost maybe 13-15 minutes all up.
Not happy at all with it.

JWOC Sprint 2012
Went into the race thinking it would be a lot harder than it was.
Number 1 was straight out into a little section of map I had already sussed pretty hard off the old map so I managed to pick the quick left route straight up.
That was pretty much the same story for most of the course.
One of my main focusses was to read ahead the whole time so I could flow through the controls well.
So I was pretty clean through most of the controls. Had a lot of time where I was being held back by my running speed. Can always be more efficient though. So a lot of room for improvement.
Got back and there were a fair few "Yan Lawfyord"s being thrown around in Slovakian.
Good fun to sit in the arena and watch most of the field come in. But not so much fun to watch my result slip further and further down the results.
