Warm up & strides 30:00 [2]
30ish minutes warm ups and downs around the ESOC sprint O. Would have been less if I'd have been alone but I thought I'd be good with Helen.

First part of the ESOC chasing sprint. Good run, did a bit of a merry-go-round at the thicket on number ten. Ran in what felt like a high fourth gear, but never quite dropped into that strong fifth gear. Just over a minute down on Helen. Sasha beat me by one second, which was a little embarrassing until I had to chase him in the final. He is awesome.

The chase bit. Not as techically strong on this part, and every time I thought I was going to power past Sasha he put in an extra little spurt and stayed ahead. Pretty amazing little guy. Again about a minute down on Helen. I really should start training again, I'm not actually the worst/most unfit orienteer in the world really. Though sprinting has always been my strong point I guess in comparison.
