Event: City Race Euro Tour
 

Event: London City Race
 

The first Brussels Orienteering Meeting, taking advantage of a car free day in the centre of the city. Had the first start (9am) due to running in London later, and also it was raining, so the streets were largely empty. A nice course with a mix of short and long legs, lots of direction changes and some nice views in certain places. Included a short bit by the Grand Place and a control at the Mannekin Pis which was already busy with tourists. Then back to the hostel for a shower, check out and head to the Eurostar. Finished 17th of 32 on Men's Elite. Rain ~14.6km.

The 7th London City Race. First time running competitively. Good route choice legs for the first two-thirds of the race, then shorter, more technical legs through the Barbican and the Golden Lane Estate, including a very tricky penultimate leg. Finished 24th of 51 finishers on Men's Elite. Made up 12 places during the Barbican/Golden Lane Estate section, due to knowing the layout of both areas very well! Ran ~13.9km.

Brussels Urban Middle race, in a nice suburb of south-west Brussels. Unexpectedly hot and sunny (27*C). Spectacular finish running around/down concrete stadium seating. Finished 13th of 50. Ran ~9.3km.
