Orienteering race (Urban) 13:54 [5] 2.77 km (5:01 / km) +49m 4:37 / km
shoes: Innovate Terraclaws
My first British mixed (!) sprint champs, with Alice & Clive. Super vets. 2.7km optimum. Bradford campus.
1st leg, with Bilbo, and very fast start, i was dropped immediately - not just Blibo, but Keith Tonkin was away! I was about 6th. shit!
Slowly reeled them in despite some small early slip ups, then at the far end Bilbo had the controls in reverse order to me, somehow I came out in front, so put foot down & got a large-ish lead (25 seconds), by the spectator.
Obviously, being me, I threw it all & more away by making a huge error immediately (which Clive & Graham Patten also made!). Bilbo ahead again. Passed him for the 3rd time, cursing as I did, and made sure to come back 1st by a few seconds. (nb. Bilbo doesn't do this sort of race....!)
Super fun little race, Alice won it for us, Clive just chugged round & had a quick moan about the error he said I should have warned him about! Gold. Bok also bronze when Mark caught Graham after G made "that" error - the run-in was a right scrap, so I'm told !
