Regional race at Butter Wood.

Lovely forest, mostly white and very fast running. Technically very easy though, lots of line features and the planning was pretty easy. Quite tired but managed to run reasonably fast all the way, except fore the last few controls.

Winner took 63.

Saturday O-cross race in Bagshot. Interesting format: mass start with a few forked controls ie people have different controls and that's it (so not 100% fair) - but still pretty fair as they are very close to each other. 3 maps altogether, 26 controls of which about 5 or 6 are forked (and only 2 forks at each).

Very tired though so even got beaten by a girl (was Sarah Rollins though). Also some very dodgy geezers hanging out with guns, made sure I left pretty damn fast

Evening run around Richmond Park

Run from work along the Thames, very nice but also very slow as I was going with some dude from work who's 55 and not very fit..
