Event: SAX SE Sprint Champs
 

Stretching x4

First run in the SE Sprints at University of Keny, Canterbury. Clean run with the minor exception of #17, which I overshot by a few meters, under the assumption that the fence corner would reach through the hedge. Happy to still be moving fast. I think this is the fastest per-k pace I've ever run in orienteering. 17s up on Paul and Ed after the first race

Second run of the SE Sprints. Starting last (1min intervals), due to the first run lead. Technically the more difficult part. Lots of very similar looking builds, with plenty of trees obstructing the visibility and making them difficult to pick out from afar. Trying to approach the whole thing like a totally new race (17s is nothing after all). Really focusing on keep the concentration up, only ever planning ahead one leg at a time (while still keeping an eye out for any really fast controls which required extra). Only real error was coming out of #9, where I spotted and non-existant gap and had hesitate to re-plan, but it only cost a few second. Having seen Ed I took a slightly safer option to #16, round the path. Finished 10s up in the 2nd run, 27s overall. 2nd SE Sprint Title :) ! Delighted the running training is finally paying off
