Running 21:20 [3] 2.6 mi (8:12 / mi) +80m 7:29 / mi
Urban Orienteering race 47:55 [5] 7.0 mi (6:51 / mi) +110m 6:32 / mi
Great courses, struggled to plan ahead or decide best route for quite a while. Made the best of a what could have been a dull area.
Went south and west to #1 but in hindsight south and then east looks quicker
Thankfully clocked circle wasn't fully cut at #5 and came in from south and east.
#6-#7 went north
Probably didn't get #9-#10 correct, curved round on road and then to the east and road to footbridge then up mountain bike trail
Slow #10-#11 as for some reason exited to north and had to turn around
Spotted gap to access path next to school fence for route to #12
Coped with school sprint section well, but was left standing there when turned map over and confronted with #16-#17, 7:55! Went north and round left of school, through #26 and along path running E-W, but was quite muddy and struggled for grip, had to slow. Then into #17 from the north. Given grip issues, may well have been quicker leaving school east and nailing it down main estate road.
Into #18 from east. Back up mountain bike track to #24
Got #25 - #26 wrong, should have either gone north or south out of houses but went west which was more convoluted.
Soaked in the last 5 minutes!

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.8 mi (8:20 / mi) +40m 7:48 / mi
Running race 16:58 [5] 3.1 mi (5:28 / mi) +100m 4:58 / mi
Great run, hill 3 lapper basically up one side of the park and down the other.
Sat in behind leader until halfway up 2nd hill then pushed on, though mile splits were consistent 5.35s which not bad on such a course. More evidence competition makes me go faster, obvious though it seems.
Will be interesting to see how long that time stands for...
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.1 mi (9:06 / mi) +35m 8:16 / mi

Running 32:40 [3] 4.2 mi (7:47 / mi)
Running warm up/down 16:50 [3] 2.2 mi (7:39 / mi) +10m 7:33 / mi
Orienteering race 16:00 [5] 2.4 mi (6:40 / mi) +15m 6:32 / mi
All very straightforward except lost about 45s to the most tricky control at stream junction but I really should have read the map better. Bimbled across said stream as well. Otherwise fast and furious.
Running 21:00 [1] 2.0 mi (10:30 / mi) +15m 10:16 / mi

Running warm up/down 20:30 [2] 2.6 mi (7:53 / mi)
Running race 30:08 [5] 5.7 mi (5:17 / mi) +30m 5:12 / mi
Great to be back doing this after a year off, always enjoyable
A one place improvement and a 17s improvement on 2013, though course has changed slightly but think it made little to no difference.
So pleased, but think I could have dipped under 30 had I felt better in the first mile (felt terrible, mainly due to 15 mins in start pen as start delayed but they wouldn't let us over the timing mats), and slightly more kahunas in the final 500m when my heart sunk on turning the final corner and seeing how far away it was.
But in the middle section, paced it well and kept my head when others were losing it. Next year sub 30...
