Orienteering race 28:02 [5] 6.0 km (4:40 / km)
JK relay at Dipton, last leg for SYO with Nick, Nails and Craney. The team ran a great race and led from the start, pushing the pace and trying to open up a gap to EUOC, who were clinging on for dear life. Craney set me off with about 25 seconds or so, but the tables were turned pretty quickly, as Scott came prancing past me within metres of starting. I clung on for a bit, but we split on different gaffles and I struggled to maintain the pace, made a small mistake and dropped behind. Kept pushing in the hope that the young lad would go astray, but he ran a great race to beat us by a comfortable margin. I don't think that there was anything we could have done to win today...other than resting our legs yesterday, although I'm not sure even that would have been enough...Great to get 2 SYO teams on the podium, and great that the women won!
Running 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
Very tired legs warming up but felt alright once I got moving. Rob dragged me for a couple of laps of the field after.
