Trail Mixed Sprint Relay at Endcliffe: Matt, Charlotte, Me, Charlotte.
Mistakes:
5: 10 seconds, didn't count the houses so hesitated and stopped to early.
6: 10 seconds, ran all the way round the bin hut as it was mapped a buidling on the map but it was on the inside, should have been mapped as inside fence corner not a impassable building. GG and Chris got here because of this mistake.
8: 5 seconds, took the steps route, not the wider but much quicker grassey slope.
11: 10 seconds, straight forward leg, but the gap in the hedge on the map wasn't in the terrain so stopped to try find it, GG just went round, I couldn't find it so went round but had binned another 5 seconds because of searching.
15: 2 seconds, into the woods for the rocky pit and went flying into a lot of logs on the floor.
Started well then a couple of errors, 5 and 8 were my fault, but also lost 20 seconds because of the map before the run through. After 11 I pushed too hard to get back with GG and then my legs felt spent from the tempo on Thursday :( Not happy with my run or shape today but lost of positives too.
Great to finally have a mixed sprint relay in Britain, considering we are a sprint nation now, British Orienteering is so far behind. Thankfully people like GG are driving these things forward. I think the event was a great success, it would be good to pair it up with the sprint weekend and then move that into May/June time, then either pair the middle with the Nights or have it on Saturday and then attach a long on the Sunday to add another high profile weekend into the UK racing calendar, for the UK elite league etc. Although I dont think the double run should be continued as it removes the club/team feel.
