Orienteering 56:53 [4] ** 8.4 km (6:46 / km) +30m 6:39 / km
spiked:16/18c shoes: VJ Falcons

TVOC Compass Sport Cup Qualifier, Black Park.

Men's Open (Brown) 8.4km, 30m climb, 18 controls.

Running for TVOC in the flat, fast and now overmapped Black Park. To give an idea of how fast, it was won in sub-40 and I was 24th going sub 7 mins/km. Turns out there's been a miscount in the overall standings and SOC pipped TVOC to second place and the final in October...

Had a fairly clean run, it was *very* fast and unfortunately mainly path/track running - there are a few fast woodland blocks but nothing great. A few little errors, thought had great route choice to #1 before spotting and going round the out of bounds. Next was a small miss at #11, getting the wrong ditch. Poor route choice to #12, really smacked leg on a fallen branch just before #14 and screwed up #18 in the green by 2 minutes - couldn't see more than 5-10m in that.

The truth - I need to start doing some training again. GG did sub 40 mins for that course. The shin certainly hasn't been giving me that much bother recently so I think some selective choice of training locations and a couple of sessions a week to start and we'll see how things go :)
