Orienteering 21:47 [5] 3.95 km (5:31 / km) +175m 4:31 / km
1st in the m48- YES BOYS! (LOC)
angus got us off first and came back in average position 5th-7th. Bartlett then beasted the orange to get us in joint 3rd with matt galloway and matt elkington minute and half down on syo ( michael). me and matt dropped matt E on the first hills 1-3 then I had a different gaffle where I pushed ahead of both of them, caught michael up at 11 and then cruised up the hills when he seemed to be tiring, and had a good clear 30 second lead coming into the finish when I ran in with the boys and had time to celebrate, such a good feeling,so so happy! especially after yesterdays mess up. nearly had a perfect run - 25s when i skirted past a control where I think it should of been marked as distinct tree... but who cares, 2nd on course beat by ciaran allen by 10s but thats because I jogged the run in.

Over view:
So two alright race with good results, one bad race and one great race.
Obviously very dissapointed with day 3, but I can learn from it. Selection for JHI's looks good at the moment and still got the British champs to go as for EYOC I have no idea after my screw up, I don't want to get my hopes up just to let my self down, but time will tell...
1 bronze and 1 gold and two cheeky buffs.
Next JK i might be thinking about not going with school, because these 4 days I got hardly any sleep , sleeping on a church hall on a matt, only got like 6-7 hours a night. could of been a factor to poor result on sunday.
