Standard Bart mistake rushing to the 1st control before my head's in the game.
Lost 6 minutes on an otherwise straight forward 1minute 1st control. Chasing after drew took the wrong path, and couldn't bearing check as i had no compass.

Apart from that, had a very good run through a lot of the controls with the below exceptions where bigger mistakes occurred
1 - 5mins. don't wanna talk about it.
5 - 30s non-specific attackpoint, and didn't know exactly what the brown x's represented. was in the right area, but not confident enough.
7 - 30s was not courageous enough to navigate through the white, so took a long approach
8 - 3mins took a risk across the white, and lost contact with what trail i was on. couldn't bearing check (no compass)
9 - 30s confused when exiting the control, unsure of east/west.

10:30 of real errors... which is around the difference between me and 2nd place.
12 PM

Orienteering race (Putney Spanish Score) 15:00 [3] * 3.5 km (4:17 / km)
shoes: GT2000 Yellow

Didn't gps it unfortunately
but basically got pointed in a different direction to drew by the starter, which threw me off a bit, and I missed 3 of the controls near the start zone. I then had to go back PAST the finish and the start to collect them before finishing.
Apart from that, very easy, and no real problems.

A great idea to provide this though, as there's almost no extra cost or effort to put it on, and most people would want a second run i reckon. They should do this at every single event
1 PM

Cycling 2:33:34 intensity: (1 @0) + (29 @1) + (16:44 @2) + (47:43 @3) + (1:17:33 @4) + (11:04 @5) 62.92 km (24.6 kph) +742m
ahr:141 max:162 shoes: Specialized TriCross

Surrey hills with Drew.
Sat in his wind for 99% of the ride, and still dropped off the back at times. falling asleep at the end, but good to get out!
7 PM

Cycling (Commute) 11:53 [1] 4.24 km (21.4 kph) +35m

Running intervals 40:20 intensity: (25 @1) + (2:38 @2) + (4:35 @3) + (9:35 @4) + (23:07 @5) 8.54 km (4:43 / km) +35m 4:38 / km
ahr:159 max:186 shoes: GT2000 Yellow

Shadwell basin
5*1km intervals with 2min rest. Plan on making these a regular fixture again.

Pretty consistent (3:30-3:40) given little corners and loops on some of the legs, but still slowed a little over the workout.
Great to get back into the speed work, but a little way to go to get back to a sub-17:30 5km (3:30m/ks)

Also, my max heartrate seems to be doing the opposite of the rule.
Over the last 3 years, my max reported heartrate has increased 1bpm each year...

Orienteering race (Morden park) 29:22 intensity: (10:53 @2) + (3:41 @3) + (7:37 @4) + (7:11 @5) 5.42 km (5:25 / km) +1m 5:25 / km
ahr:148 max:176 shoes: GT2000 Yellow

Felt quite smooth (as far as I go), and in comparison to drew was quite consistent through most of the controls, however lost 2 mins on 3 before I realised my compass was SH (I had planned on practicing with it) and then lost 30s at 20 by not ever getting a clear idea of the map scale.
Not a great performance, and not running incredibly fast at the moment.

GPS for second half only

Running warm up/down 5 [1] 1.0 km (5 / km)
