Orienteering 18:55 [3]
NOL Sprint @ Newcastle Uni
Cool sprint area and really fun course! Started with a few hesitations but nothing too major, just very stop-start through to 7. I think I was in about 3rd at this stage but just gradually dropped back through the field with mistakes and probably got slower too. Took some silly route choices - on the long one (saw the foot bridge but convinced myself the road was smoother - which turned out to be the opposite) and ones like to 13 I think - where I went through the purple passage but then had to go further around than I thought. Also pretty bad after the spectator. Annoyed with all the small mistakes, really enjoyed it though!

Orienteering 43:00 [3]
NOL Middle
A pretty bad run... ok-ish though to 7 then majoy blowout on the boulder in the quarry. Just couldn't think what it was going to be like and should have just kepy going until I hit the quarry but I stopped about 30 metres too short and then did a grid search even though nothing was fitting. Lost a few minutes there. Ok for the next few but did crazy things like head straight to the railway line to get to the first spectator but after 30metres changed my mind and head back in to the long grass. After the spectator I made several mistakes of 1-2 minutes and was just orienteering really badly. Was a really fun area though and thought the terrain was nearly european style ;-)
