Orienteering 1:43:04 [3] 11.3 km (9:07 / km) +444m 7:37 / km
Punishing course with a lot of difficult climbing through heather slopes.
My start was very good and I caught Tom (3 mins ahead) at control 4. 5-6-7-8
was a brutal slog uphill which I paid the price for. A slight miss at 8 going too far west but then good until 17 when I very tired.
18 and 19 were in a technical section and I was going slowly as to not miss 18 but fatigue paid its price and I punched 19 before finding 18. After finding 18 I made another big mistake into 20 going too high and reaching the steep cliff. It took me a long time to reorientate and it didn't help that I didn't trust the mapping of the boulders (especially as the big boulder at 21 didn't exist!).
Then to make matters worse, I miss punched the second to last control which was between our 22 and 23 such was my desperation to reach the finish.

Warm-up to Ashton Court
9 AM
Running race 20:00 [3] 5.0 km (4:00 / km) +100m 3:38 / km
Ashton Court Parkrun
Michael suggested to me that we ran the parkrun yesterday. I couldn't find him at the start and so was trying to pace myself by making sure he was always ahead of me. Turns out he missed the start so he was behind me the whole way which meant I went faster up the climb than anticipated.
Turned at 11:20 and finished at 20:00 exactly. 21st overall.
