Night Orienteering 1:17:00 [3] *** 8.3 km (9:17 / km) +225m 8:10 / km
ahr:171 max:186 shoes: 2013 VJ Supra
Harvester - Leg 1, SLOW Men's Open team.
Steady and unspectacular, couple of minor bobbles but (narrowly) avoided the big cock-ups that blighted last year's attempt. Looking at the GPS track to #6 (189 - small depression) I made my best attempt to screw it up, but being on first leg there were others around. Need to be more careful with attacking that sort of control.
Didn't really feel like pushing the pace, took a few crap route choices through the grot, and the straight route to the last road crossing was about a minute slower than going around - mainly due to the brashings on the ground. Only one other real miss at 183, where I cut in too late, even though I knew I should have gone earlier, partly as none of the rest of the group I was with did either...
The rest of the team all had solid runs to finish 4th overall.
GPS Distance: 10.0km

Running 1:05:00 [2] 11.6 km (5:36 / km) +175m 5:13 / km
ahr:143 max:187 shoes: La Sportiva C-Lite
Club run from Doveridge. Cracking evening and route, really enjoyable. Out for 90-odd minutes but plenty of time spent regrouping so just the approximate moving time recorded. Certainly somewhere to explore a bit more.
