Bob, it was two seperate races with two seperate times that were added together to get the overall result for the competition.
Last year I only counted it as 1 race as I took it as being the final result rather than two individual ones.

Also have completed 7 in Feb bringing total for year to 12

29/02/12 Fife AC Nightmare Series Race No 5 Balbirnie Park 3M
26/02/12 South of Scotland Orienteering Leauge event 3 Lothian Edge Dunbar 5M
25/02/12 Cupar 5 5M
19/02/12 Orienteering CompassSport Cup and Trophy Faskally Pitlochry 5.8M
18/02/12 Scottish National XC Champs - Senior Men - Falkirk 12km
11/02/12 Falkirk parkrun 5km
08/02/12 Fife AC nightmare series race No 4 St Andrews Old Course 3M

Mel,
Just grab him by the ankles, hold him upside down and shake him while growling between your teeth "Give me the precious"
That should work.

Santa knows if you've been bad or good .. so I didn't get a Garmin at Xmas
but a chewed pencil tells me .. less than 200miles
I'm sure a 'golden mileometer' would have registered at least 300+ by now ... Derek ?

Hazards of being a race-junkie .. No.1 .. Greed!
Thought I'd go for a double-whammy .. early morning 'light'-orienteering in Perthshire followed by 'gentle'10km race (involving a tight schedule but should make it); until I fell and dislocated my shoulder three-quarters of the way round the orienteering course. By the time I'd got it back in the socket I was too late for the race, Grrrr!

ps. has anybody else noticed that Craig Love has been at all the races .. c'mon Craig .. how many?
