Northen Champs Wass Forest - winning time 47:43 - 7th
There were problems with the finish box that I punched and they seem to have sorted it but I still have a v v slow run in time and my watch suggests that I was acc 10secs quicker but it makes no difference to placing or standards so I’m not that bothered.
#1 I lost about 1-2min because I went in the wrong side of the knoll and didn’t realise until a bit later but I didn’t rush around and kept myself calm so annoying but it wasn’t a disaster. #3 I thought I was running on a different path which confused me but I soon realised and corrected my mistake. #5 lost about 30secs, was expecting it too soon but hit it eventually. #6 ran down the wrong re-entrant but didn’t lose too much on that. #8 my legs were gone and had to walk, all directly up hill and expected it too soon. #11 very cautious entering this one as I knew if I messed up it would be hard to relocate so stopped a few times. #13 AWFUL route choice like awful awful awful, ran off the path WAY too early and lost about 2min. #14, #15 I was just really slow by this point. #17 saw a control that obvs wasn’t mine but ran to it anyway so lost a tiny bit there. Overall a bit slow but quite a nice race and my results was okay.

York selection race - winning time 15:15 (I think) - badly haven’t acc seen results but I know it was awful
#2 lost about 2min, ran the wrong way around a first building but I thought I could deal w it but it meant I went a wrong way around another building and had to turn back and go back on myself - disaster. #9 could not work out how to get to it, probs lost 30secs hesitations. #10 bad route choice 10-20secs. #11 lost concentration and ran the completely wrong way out of 10, lost about 1min-1min30secs, realised after nothing matched up but I was v far away at that point. Disaster. Ahhhh welll... I never do sprints so it’s given me things to think about.

fun fun fun in not sun sun sun (cos we were inside in the hottest day of April)

jogged the course with Ellie, Merryn and Laura

cross country relay - my team gave me a ridiculous head start so it was quite nice being last leg. Last ever cross country with school, sad times. Good to end on a win though :))

Iain’s stickle birthday score
38/50 controls
ran with Ellie
the scale super duper confused me, it turns out it was 1:5000 and that’s why things were popping up too soon.
Very circular route choice and we struggled to estimate how many we could get. A very fun event.

very short one as I had to run home quickly because I’d forgotten about my german tutor coming. Up hoad and down the back then through church yard.

Very stressed about exams at the moment, so just steadily trying to maintain training around revision and stuff.
