Orienteering race (Local Event) 49:06 [3] ** 6.63 mi (7:24 / mi)
ahr:177 max:191 spiked:20/22c slept:8.0 shoes: Standard White O-Shoes
Ran Blue course at a HAVOC local event at Thorndon North Country Park, near Brentwood in Essex. Had a generally clean run, with only a couple of mistakes and poor route choices, wasting maybe a minute each - in both cases, I overshot the control by around 100m. Could have gone faster, definitely, but held back as it was pretty hot and muggy. I was expecting the course to be an undergrowth nightmare, based on my previous runs here, but the course planning was good and avoided the worst of the nasty stuff. The section north of the main road was particularly pleasant - I was pleased that a good section of the course went through here.
Came joint second, behind Ian H. Certainly could have won if I'd put a bit more effort.

Field Surveying (City of London Map) 3:30:00 [0]
Final initial survey for the City of London map - completed the Minories and Smithfield areas, and looked at the newly opened South Churchyard at St Paul's Cathedral.
The map extent is now 100% COMPLETE (apart from a possible northern extension to the Broadgate Tower - by no means certain that it will be open for October though.)
Next stage is initial course planning, and starting to tidy up the map and check construction sites that may have finished since the initial survey. Crucially, the "base map" will now be the completed orienteering map.
