Orienteering 1:30:00 [3] 13.5 km (6:40 / km) +493m 5:38 / km
British Night Champs
First time I've made it to the start line for the keenest competition on the calendar after missing out on Merthyr Mawr in 2018. With Rob and Michael is tow we were all set for a good race, at least between ourselves.
Rob started 4 minutes before me and I was fairly confident I would catch him if I was clean and so I did at control 9 before losing a minute on 11 and another 3 minutes on 12 to take us back to where we started. Should have just taken the safe route to 12 but seemed like the open would be a good enough attackpoint.
Quite good after that despite getting distracted by other people running the wrong way and he finished just before me. Feeling a bit slow in the terrain, out of practice and not enough miles in the legs at the moment.
