Orienteering race (British Middle Champs) 36:18 [5]
shoes: jalas o-shoes

3rd place :o) Finally broke into the top 3 this year. Really pleased with the run as I wasn't feeling fit and fast, but settled into a reasonable pace and flowed through most controls cleanly. A few small misses near the end, but I'd have had to have been fitter to get into the top 2. I really enjoyed the course and the terrain - it suits me that kind of stuff. Thinking about it, all of the British races have been pretty good this year. What's going on?

Event: British Elite Sprint & Middle Champs

Orienteering race (British Sprints Qual) 16:00 [5]
shoes: New Balance 1024 - 2nd pair

Slightly scrappy in places as I wasn't ready for it being as tricky as it was. Also felt heavy and got a bit demoralised on being passed by people who started after me, but it turned out I had a shorter 2nd half. Still, job done, safely through.

Orienteering race (British Sprint Final) 16:50 [5]
shoes: New Balance 1024 - 2nd pair

=13th place. Not been that far down the results board for a while, and the sad thing was I couldn't have done much better on the day. I got off to a bad start losing time (and blood) on my routes to 1 and 3. Then did ok for a bit, but lost my fight and started to feel really heavy and slow. Sometimes when I have that feeling, it turns out I'm still running quite fast, but not today!

Orienteering 13:10 [5]
shoes: New Balance 1024 - 2nd pair

Peel Park - Bradford. It'd be nice one day to go to a place where you expect there to be a load of scummy little shits and actually find a bunch of pleasant young lads playing cricket.

Race was alright though. Felt quite tired.

HFW. Got v tired and had to sit on a bench for a bit. Think I'd not eaten enough since Sunday. Put that right once I got home.

Running 58:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Trabuco

Nice little loop from Golden Acre Park with Gracie. Would make a good sprint area. Spent more time looking at young animals than running, but as it was just a recovery jog, that was fine by me!
