Decided to cycle to the midweek O-training race.
The Event Centre wasn't there.
Kept looking around.
It wasn't there.
Camped by a nearby Burger King to get wifi and download the instructions to see if it changed. It was in a completely different part of Budapest. As later I discovered I downloaded the training info from a year ago initially... khm.

I contemplated going home but decided that I wanted to visit the norther railway bridge over the Danube which I never crossed but this was the fastest way to get to the (proper) event. So I did.

Jubilee Cup, long course (Farkaserdo)
I initially wanted to run all 3 courses but given the day before AND the my confusion about where to go and so the long cycle ride to get there, I decided to only run one course, the long.
And I was feeling my legs, they just weren't turning over as fast as they should have.
I terms of the course the terrain was much more runnable that the greens usually indicate - some of the middle greens here may have passed for white in some UK maps (incorrectly). So did a fair bit of compass bearing, more than I expected in an urban forest that is usually way undergrown.
Had not problems with most of the controls, albeit did choose a few suboptimal routes as I wasn't pushing past some areas I probably would have in a proper race (no O-pants or gaiters on me). One smaller mistake at No. 6 (I think from memory) where I was lazy with not picking an attack point so started to look for it earlier than I should have, and I suspect No. 11 wasn't quite right and became a bingo control in the middle of nothing so I spent a little bit of time hunting.
No idea about results but this was just about getting a bit more routing in the flow.
