Orienteering race 1:07:03 [5] *** 12.0 km (5:35 / km)
spiked:32/35c slept:7.0
White Rose day 2, mostly the same area as yesterday and some quite familiar bits of terrain. I had a late start today, which helped, and I quite enjoyed the first part of the course. I think I pushed a bit too hard on the middle uphill section (after winding up the pace to catch Jenny on a hill) and I got very tired on the last few controls. Felt like I had a full on workout of my whole body after trying to run and stay on my feet in some of this forest!

spiked:35/37c
White Rose day 1, a typically tough and rough North Yorkshire forest, and surprise, surprise I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Didn't miss much although some of the controls should have been quite hard to find, and the terrain was very tough and rough without being unpleasant (i.e. spiky or stingy). I did feel pretty tired though, and I tonked my knee on a stump about half way around, but it didn't seem to do too much damage.

3 PM
Orienteering race 9:48 [5] **** 2.0 km (4:54 / km)
spiked:25/26c
White Rose sprint, this was a really good course on a really good map of some flat forest full of clearings and anthills. The matrix section at the end was a bit confusing though.
9 PM
Orienteering race 27:31 [5] **** 5.0 km (5:30 / km)
spiked:28/30c
White Rose night race on a flattish ridge of white forest with a complex network of bike paths. 30 controls in 30 mins with a mass start of 125 people, great fun in spite of the pub meal weighing heavily in my stomach. Got Barrabelly-ed, but couldn't have done much better to be honest, oh well.

Fastish run up the Ings in York. Didn't really feel like training, but dragged myself out and it just seemed easier to run hard than than to jog.
