Orienteering race (Urban race) 46:45 [4] **** 6.2 km (7:32 / km)
27c shoes: Adidas Adistar Salvations

TVOC urban race in Didcot Ladygrove, a new estate with lots of wiggly roads, dead ends, short blocking walls and alleyways - in short, a very interesting area for a race. Indeed it felt like a sprint race, but over city race distance: the best of both worlds!

Having spotted the "trap" blocking wall on the way to No. 3, I was so pleased that I ran straight into the trap wall blocking No. 4. There were plenty of other trap legs and some immediate-decision-required route choice legs too - everything for the discerning urban orienteer.

I actually ran 9.6km, and didn't hear of anyone running under 9.3km to do the 6.2km (straight-line) Long course.

Cycling 1:00:00 [3] 20.0 km (3:00 / km)

Back home from Shepherd's Bush, via the City (to check a few controls) and supermarket.
