Orienteering race 1:32:16 [4] 8.0 mi (11:32 / mi)
Brown 12/18
Excellent course on a fabulous new area at Glen Nant / Taynault. Finessed the rough tough start with some cheeky path running, Caught NoRa and all was going well now it got runnable until binning 8 minutes at 15 where suddenly everything stopped making sense. Didn't really recover from that then binned another 3 mins at 18. Oops.
james has been refocussing after last w/e and decided to win, which he did in 63. He started 4 mins after me, but I never saw him but sensed a sussuration of righteous indignation above me en route to 4.

Orienteering race 32:40 [3] 3.85 mi (8:29 / mi)
SOUL 4, Dunbeg.
Too busy this week to read the details, and for no good reason I'd decided this would be a nice urban sprint in the sunshine. It wasn't.
ISSOM map photoreduced to 1:7500 wasn't so easy on the eye, but the main problem was getting into it. Burbled along uninspiredly through the terrain, then while planning ahead took a first right turn in Dunbeg village. Into some OOB house :( v. confused, went into compass and sort it mode - ended up clambering over a fence. Not v. inspired after that!
Turned out to be more effort than it was worth to DQ me. A crap - 4 mins down on M55 - time is probably the greater humiliation!

Running 45:00 [2] 4.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
There, round a lap and home again.
Note
Happy days on the Meadows. Martin reckons james is looking like a runner. About as complimentary as the octagenarian olympian curmudgeon gets. james is celebrating achieving his spring season goal of beating his selection rivals in most of the selection races, and expecting to surpass all my best times this summer (when they're, um, reset, by the IAAF). And I'm not dead yet.
