Orienteering race 1:05:43 [5] 9.42 km (6:59 / km) +200m 6:18 / km
shoes: Innov8 MudClaw 300 2019
Midland champs, day 2 of SINS, 8.3km, 240m. Ankle taped.
BROWN CLEE
Slow to no 2 then things started working. Found it easier than BOC 2016, also where i lost 8 minutes there, I had a hard leg today and nailed it - recognised it ! Lost about 1min at no 8 as the re-entrant seemed to point the wrong way - compass work lax? Nigel Bunn started 8 mins before me & pounced at no 11 so i was gobsmacked, assumed we'd ding dong to the finish, but no, he was puffing & heaving & I took a less full-on route to no 16 & got a small but crucial gap which I built on. Pressed on, caught Mike Johnson 4mins, and also Heather Roome, and then found I was lacking as they really ran hard down the long hill to finish. I fell heavily over a wire fence but picked myself up to stagger in for 3rd trying to close on Mike J & Heather..... but Clive 2 mins up, Tim 30 secs up (Tim hungover & said "should have been won in well under an hour" - Chas?) .
PLeased. Was 2nd in M50 in 2016 but this is OK.
