The World Orienteering Champs were recently held in the marshes of Trondheim (Norway) and I came away with a personal best in the Long (6th place) and the Relay (4th place). However, in the sprint I was running for an 8th place but after running right past a control near the end I ended up disqualified.

In the relay we were 7 seconds off a medal in a very close fought battle along with Graham Gristwood (1st leg) and Jon Duncan (2nd leg), who ran superbly to set me off on last leg in the lead pack.

We'll be looking for revenge in 2011!
