NGOC evening urban event in Gloucester - Long 5.9km

Glad I was able to run here round as last summer I was injured

Got very lucky at the start as when i running to 2 i could see the bridge was being raised. Not knowing how quick it would be lowered I played safe and took the other routechoice. Right decision. As i was running over the other bridge i could see it still raised and it only lowered just as I got to it on the way to 4 allowing me to take the shorter routechoice.

Potter on the other hand got caught out by the bridge so he was now chasing me and eventually caught me at 11. This flustered me and meant i wasted 50s in the space of 2 mins over the next 3 controls so Potter got away. Was clean over the rest and learnt I just beat him thanks to the luck of the bridge.

Have been meaning to go back to Sheepscombe and run around my prospective control sites but also to note down map updates and just for my luck there was numerous new patches of felling.

BOK Blast Race 2 around Bristol Harbourside East - Mens Open 7.5km

Routegadget

Today the event was further East, with no multi-level brdges (thank goodness) but a much greater variety of urban land-uses to keep you on the edge.

Was a bit scrappy at the start with 7 quick controls in a small complicated park, afraid to jump the fence on 2 and hesitant on 4 and 7. Once out in the town was able to pre-plan legs and kick on, only losing 20s on 23 looking the wrong side of the building. Had a fun head to head race at the end.

Realised now that i picked a sub optimal route to 17 having not noticed the steps cut-through.

BOK Blast Race 1 around Bristol Harbourside North- A 8.2km

Routegadget

I made sure I studied the blank map at the arena and planned some pretend legs around the bridges as this was would be the only complicated bit on the course.

I was fairly clean until this point of the course but unfortunately the legs I had planned didn't come up. I had real trouble planning a route to 22 and ended up picking a sub optimal route wasting 1 min. I missed the optimal route to 24 and then i started navigating to 26 rather than 25 wasting 2 mins. After that I was fairly clean again with only small misses on 33 and 34.

My only consolation was I the 1st non-BOK/UBOC as I'm guessing the others had been round the area before

Time losses:
#8 ~10s Thought i had checked descriptions, but started running down wrong side of wall for a bit
#21 ~10s Didn't spot you could get through from the South so ran round
#22 ~60s Hard to say how much time i lost but comparing with Tom probably 1 min. Didn't spot the mid level crossing and instead crossed by going down to ground level.
#24 Again didn't spot the optimal round under the road
#25 ~ 2 mins Started navigating to 26 and then didn't think i could get through via East lock so bailed and ran around
#33 17s ran past tree. Stupid
#34 13s Had checked descriptions but got distracted by control 37

2 PM

Running warm up/down 9:44 [2] 1.4 km (6:57 / km) +15m 6:36 / km
