Rob, 3rd counts for nothing - wait for my new thread - I'll try and post tomorrow. It may explain a few things.

Can everyone stop arguing over selections? I guess rob is talking about me, I was 3rd both JK days and British, couldn't run the FCC final because I was injured and didnt go to the other event. The same two people beat me, so I had thought I had a good chance of being the 3rd person in the team. I guess I didn't do enough races, but I'm not going to keep digging at the selectors. Its their choice, its hard to make decisions when there are so many people so close together. When a selection is made against you, what is the point in continuing to argue over it, it doesn't make you a better orienteer?

wooo that's a great attitude tessa! you'll go far, but i knew that anyway from shadowing you at glenmore 2003.
after messing up the woc selection races (again) i read paula radcliffe's book -i didn't think it was that good, but would recommend Kelly Holmes' new book -more inspiring- but anyway despite not thinking her book was that good there's this bit at the beginning where she is talking balls that really helped.
she says in your life there are 4 balls. your "career" ball is a rubber ball and the other three "health" "family & friends" and "integrity" are fragile. You have to be careful not to drop them because they can break but because the "career" ball is rubbery you can throw it higher and higher and it doesn't matter if you drop it because it will always bounce back.
it's quite like orienteering, the faster you run the more likely you are to make a mistake but with practice one day you will be able to orienteer at that speed, if can bounce back from the mistakes and keep practicing then one day you will be able to always navigate well when running really fast so you'll be a great orienteer. only orienteering is probably harder to master than throwing a ball really high and being able to catch it, but what a boring sport that would be!
