Orienteering race (BOC Relays) 43:58 [4] 6.75 km (6:31 / km) +170m 5:47 / km
slept:7.0 shoes: VJ Supra
Tankersley Woods. Mens' Premier BOK B team 1st leg. 5.4km.
Started well. Was up at the front of my pack for the first few, but led them all the wrong way to #5. Came out of #7 the wrong way losing me a few places then I started to get really scrappy after that. My map contact fell to pieces and started to make lots of little mistakes. Felt like I spent ages on the last loop, and I guess I did cos all the guys I'd been in a pack with were well ahead by the end.
Enjoyed it a lot more than yesterday though. Terrain was far more interesting and the map was good to go with it.
Think I finished 24th. Well done Keith and Duncan for claiming a whole load of places back. And well done to the ATeam. Great reslut.

Orienteering race (BOC ) 2:30:00 [3] 17.0 km (8:49 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: VJ Supra
Wharncliffe, Sheffield
Boo. Four weeks of next to no training, a 05.30 start to the day, and splits starts. Not the way to go about doing an elite classic race. I was planning to drop down to Long but decided last minute to give Elite a shot.
The little confidence I had was shattered when Ben overtook me before #3, and it ddn't get any better. I was relying on my slower running speed giving my nav a chance to work, but no that didn't happen.
I got to #27 in 2:05 and realised that if I carried on at the pace I was doing I was unlikely to make it back in time for Laura to run so I jacked it in and jogged back.
I think it's safe to say my (wannabe) elite days are over for the time being.

Run - Off road 29:00 [3] 6.65 km (4:22 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Inov8 Roclite 295
I remembered that tomorrow there's a big race to run and also remembered that training improves performance. So I decided to do some. For a change.
In Sussex at the moment so I popped out for a gentle trot round the back of Ifold and on to the canal path and back.
It's safe to say I can give up hope of any UK Cup points this weekend. Getting to the finish will be a challenge.
