(rest day)
Performance-wise it went pretty standard, ending up pretty much where i thought i was at. Would have been interesting to know how much higher i can push with a solid winter's training.

Wasn't feeling that energetic in the start box but had to start shifting early to keep pace with Andrew. Almost missed #2 on the bridge but realised just in time to wave my SIAC at the control. Leading on the Heathland but a big banana to 6 meant Eoin McCullough took over the lead which is how it stayed. Slowed down at the end massivley to make sure I punched the right controls. Very enjoyable.

Good first half, catching some of those who started before me. Predicted I would get lost in the thickets before i set off and this prediction came true on 20. Performance dropped from then on as people who i had dropped clawed back onto me. Wasn't reading the map as well or pre-planning. Hamstrings cramping up from 35 onwards. Could have been so much better.

Dreadful race, especially the start wasting time on 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8. Generally caused by getting distracted by others / not taking or following bearing. Matthew Vokes + Joe Taunton caught me at this point so i hopped on board the train which finally dismantled at 18 so cruised into the finish.
Time losses:
#1 25s - hesitant and headed to the tree first
#2 65s - Stupdiy didn't take a bearing just followed. Thought i was running down the stream but i was on the marsh.
#3 30s - clearly can'ft follow my bearing. headed to the M20 point instead
#6 30s - Very hesitant
#8 30s Didn't take a bearing so ended up running on path too long and had to attack from North
Running warm up/down 11:12 [2] 1.7 km (6:35 / km) +30m 6:03 / km

Running warm up/down 10:16 [2] 1.8 km (5:42 / km)
ahr:139 max:153 shoes: inov8 Race Ultra 290
Orienteering race (Brunel University) 16:36 [4] *** 4.0 km (4:09 / km)

Mark started 1 min ahead. No mistakes on the first 3 then saw him in sight coming out of 4. Chose perhaps the longer routechoice to 6 but up ahead I could see him being a wally so was soon right on his tail. Took over the navigation on 11 and was generally fine with only a hesitation on 21 with it under the bridge. Almost followed the W21 course on 26 so lost a bit of time and Mark overtook me again and it stayed that way for the final two controls.
Looking back on it I could have pushed a bit harder from 12 on wards (lost at least 30s just in running speed) but its the best i've done at a big event so I'll take that.
Time losses:
#21 5s Hesitation, should have read control descriptions
#26 5s Being a plonker following the W21s
Running warm up/down 12:13 [2] 2.0 km (6:07 / km)
