I was very grateful to be selected for the European Orienteering Championships in Verona after struggling with injury for much of this year. The championship, for me, consisted of an individual sprint qualifier and a knockout sprint. Unfortunately I mispunched in the first race after the spectator run through. The knockout qualifier went a bit better, however if was my first time competing in a senior competition so I didn’t quite have the speed yet to qualify to the next round. It was a great experience competing against the best in Europe with lots of learning generated as to how I can improve in future races!
Thanks again to the Jack Bloor Fund for their support towards the competition!
