Orienteering race 52:45 [5] 8.55 km (6:10 / km) +189m 5:33 / km
shoes: Mud Claw 333
BUCS womens' A / Men's B race, Moseley Green, Forest of Dean.
7.4km 265m - Guest run as helper.
I set up & organised the Start, for 3 hours prior to my run, and today was more about that . Amazing help from Megan & Clare, both of whom slotted perfectly into their roles & just churned it out for 2.5 hours. Total stars. Ifor & MarkTwo relieved me by 2pm so I could run - thanks guys!
Excellent course, planned by Scrappy doo, (Paul Gebbett), this is what a great Short Brown looks like!!! plenty of route choice & variety. Totally into the course the whole way round.
Ran with the "fairly good" women - not the "top" ones at the end. This meant I was passing girls a lot, but n several cases, it was an effort to drop them as they are exceedingly young compared to old fart me.
One miss - spectator control - pretty much went to the last control instead - put off by the whooping, hooting, and cheers of the student crowd.. this is not my scene anymore, even though I feel partly responsible for it. (my behaviour 1983-85!).
RH Achilles twinged twice, once cos I really did nearly come a cropper. So no real problem there. Phew!
Hoped to scrape down to 50mins or under, but not feeling 100% after my earlier work on the Start, no warm up, and (mainly) the bogginess of the area in places meant 52:45 it was, and I think one woman beat me - fair do's.
results - My time is right, the others are a minute long, so I am only just scraping in front of 3 & 4, and actually, they can have it, I should be non comp really ( I knew leg one was straight up the big path so ran flat out up it hardly looking at map....- 15 seconds advantage?)
