Orienteering race (JK Day 3 Craig a Barns) 2:15:01 [3] *** 10.39 km (13:00 / km) +590m 10:07 / km
spiked:19/22c shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
∆-5 (15:55)
A bit slow to 1 and 2 but no problem. 3 did a 90 degree error but corrected it so maybe >30s lost. 4 took it steady. 5 I loved so much...
6 (22:07)
I decided to go to the path to get to 6 (though now I realise that decision was based on the fact it would be more fun navigating NE from 5 through the crags...) The first half was fun but soon after getting to the track I had very little energy. After that I again I took a more interesting route instead of sticking to the path which would have ben faster.
7-12 (31:56)
7 I went through the fallen trees for some reason, then it was in the wrong place. The rest of the ctrls were slow as I had very little energy.
13-21 (102:44)
Hit the wall. I have only done this once before but this time it was quite bad. I felt like I was going to faint and went by the first aid point. There was nothing of use there so I just carried on (all the ctrls were on the way back). I walked all the way.
So yeah. I am terribly unfit atm.
Oh god

Orienteering race (JK Day 2 Dunalastair) 55:21 *** 5.2 km (10:39 / km) +230m 8:43 / km
spiked:11/21c (injured) (sick) shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
I think I can partly blame my earlier mistakes on the vegetation mapping which I was using to navigate, though I should have used a compass as a back up.

Sprint/Urban Orienteering race (JK Sprint) 19:14 *** 4.11 km (4:41 / km) +60m 4:22 / km
spiked:22/27c shoes: Brooks CASCADIA 5
My main problem in this race was getting up to speed, which I could not do. I kept catching up with Matt P (to about 15s behind) and then loosing him again because he sped up. Partly fitness and partly not having any faith in my shoes on the slippy pavement/grass.
I lost 15-20s on 5, 2s on 9 and ~10s on both 22 and 23. So quite a bit on a sprint.
Still not 100% from last weekend and I now have a cold...
