Event: British Sprint Championships

Orienteering race 13:00 [5] *** 3.0 km (4:20 / km) +40m 4:04 / km
spiked:27/27c shoes: Jalas Black

Prologue. First loop and wood was good fun, and final control pick. Rest was pretty boring with no route choice, but I guess that is sprint qualifiers for you!

Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black

Warming up and longer warm down.

Orienteering 14:00 [5] **** 4.0 km (3:30 / km) +30m 3:22 / km
shoes: Jalas Black

Much better area this arvo for the finals. Planning was much more interesting with a long routechoice leg and some control picking. I got pissed off when the map was wrong -it showed steps in an underpass, but was in fact an automatic door. That was heathenage from the controller -and he said at the end 'I think its fine'. Either a thick black 'impassable' line and the door is closed or its propped open. Only lucky people like mike who saw someone coming out and pissed off people like craney who was gonna kick it if it didn't open got through. Balls balls.

Anyway I only lost a few seconds there and another 10 maybe at 3 and 10 at 14 when i missed the little gap. Could have been with OJ and Craney, but hey still happy with that.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)

Warm up and long warm down all over the campus checking out all the cool bits our course didn't go to and how unfair the automatic door/steps in an underpass was.

Event: British Elite Middle Distance

Orienteering race 37:00 [5] **** 7.0 km (5:17 / km) +250m 4:29 / km
shoes: Jalas Black

British Middles. Hopwas wood. Reasonably good course round a reasonable bit of wood. Some of the lightgreen and mid green mapping was abit wishy washy. Lost 2 mins easily. 5th -not that great, but steady.

Running warm up/down 40:00 [1] 6.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black

Warm up and long warm down. Legs felt pretty good after.

I've just seen Richard Baxter out for a walk at lunchtime -unfortunately I was doing the same... Dunno if you can class him as an 'athlete' though?

Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh, sorry I mean run on a nice moor in the light on a spring evening. Nice route starting at Strines Inn, upto boundary stones, then the little trod over to the Salt Cellar, Dovestones Tor, past Cakes of Bread, then the track round and below Lost Lad, across to Cogman Clough and along to Gravy Clough Cabin, up to Berristers Tor, big down and up Abbey Brook to Cartlidge Flats, down Rushy Flat Dike and back through Strines Wood.

Chip butty and a couple of pints in the pub -lovely jubbly.

Yet again I found a good excuse to miss going to the track... left work at 6.30 with Robbos watch. Up the parks, then upto crimicar lane and home via rivelin. A brisk wind up ont top. Cleared some more rubbish back into the garden...again. Felt pretty tired.
