been at welsh, will update this tomorrow.

Good warm up with dad.
Love to get the o-roc 220's on, they are my favourite shoes everrrr.

UNDER 10 minute Ks! YAAAS! at last, took me 6 days to do it -_-
I dont look at other start times before I race but I was in the box and noticed a girl pick up map 8, and to be on cours 8 and be female you had to be runnign W18L. I decided to ignore, it as I didnt want it to put me off, caught sight of her going to control 5, turned out to be Patricia Nieke, and I just couldnt get her, and we took a few different routes, got close to her about control 20 and had to push hard, couldnt get away, took a dodgy route choice on 21 in haste to try and get ahead, felt good though, legs were feeling heavy on the hills though, and my nose was bothering me from this cold that got worse overnight. Very happy with my result, finally showed the foreigners what I'm really made of, LOVE URBAN RACES who says thats not real orienteering, it's so high intensity and probably one of the most mentally demanding types considering decisions have to be made so quickly. map is too big so link to routegadget...

Same planner, same map, same area, SAME MISTAKE. come on Karen you are supposed to learn from your mistakes. The long leg got me again, this time control two, messed it up going out of control 1, then actually when I got within 100m of 2 I disobeyed my 2nd rule of getting on the right height -_- basic error.

Rubbish start. Messed up the first control, went up a ridge parallel to the one the control was on. Was fine after that and took a sweet route choice on the next long one. The rest of the course was pretty much fine, pissed off with the first one though.

up to start, wee warm down too.

Rest Day of the welsh, did quite a lot of walking, and went go karting which is quite physical, good fun! :D

Warm up with mum, warm down with dad.

Late start did mean, that on the contrary from yesterday, there were a few paths through some rubbish! Only minor mistakes, mostly hesitation, pleased with my result. Was well ahead of 6th, but yet again missed out on a place above by 5 seconds. -_-

Warm up to the start with Dad and a jog to warm down after myself.

Early start, so there was a couple of bits coming off the hill that were a bit rough and would have been very nice with a path round/through them! None the less, i thought I had a decent clean run but I was just too slow, no major mistakes, a few hesitiations however, not sure if they were necessary, but I think a few times they were which probably cancels out the times they werent. I need to be a bit more self confident. Decided to take the route over the hill today rather than round turned out it was most probably the better route! yay! Disappointed with my 7th place and gutted to miss out on 6th by 5seconds! #grrrrr

Came 5th, made a mess of 3 controls. The map was also rumoured to be wrong on one of the last ones, where the 'green' ventured further up than shown, however I shouln't blame that for my mistake, I executed the long leg well until I got to the control circle and my attack point wasnt very good. Still managed a half decent result.
