7 PM
Run - Trail warm up/down 11:32 [2] 1.65 km (6:59 / km) +32m 6:22 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 2017
With Bradc, timing well to avoid waiting at the start for long in the very cool wind.
8 PM
Run - Orienteering race 1:23:22 [4] 13.29 km (6:16 / km) +153m 5:56 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)
BOC Night, Merthyr Mawr, M21E, 11.1km
This was a good area for a night race and it was a lovely clear evening (if slightly nippy). Enjoyed being out, but unfortunately the course had a lot of long legs, which resulted in a lot of path running, and next to no short technical ones.
On my own for pretty much the whole course. Felt reasonably good at the start but apparently that was because I was running so slow - although I was a couple of minutes up on Nick by #5 (where Ben caught him). One big banana and a few small wobbles in circles were most of the time I lost, maybe 2.5 minutes all in?
Got caught by Ben, Nick and then GG late in the course, but didn't have the strength with moaning quads on the steep up and downs to contemplate trying to stay with them. Surprised to finish 6th which what felt like a very slow run, but I was also a long way behind GG (20 odd minutes).
