Orienteering race 32:00 [5]
British Relays - M40 team, 3rd leg.
Beaten up from yesterday's run and ITB's killing. Took 800mg of Ibuprofen and gritted my teeth. Jon and Brad had done an excellent job of keeping us in the state of play, albeit it off the top 3 (very high quality field) and so I was motivated enough to race hard. Too many small mistakes for my liking and would have benefitted from being nearer Monro (NGOC) and further way from Dave (Clyde). 7th for the team.
Dixie would have done better than me and Brad.

Orienteering race 1:17:00 [5]
British Orienteering Champs, Cannock Chase.
Why did I enter this, I knew it would be a trail race with a few dashes into terrain thrown in and so it was. Managed to psyche myself up OK despite the last start (maybe because I knew Peely's time) and kicked off OK, nothing too taxing, just small misses where the map was worse than in other areas (they can't even map track junctions right!) and held it together in the poorly mapped "quarried" area.
A slog at the end and just hanging on..... 6th.
No surprise - a quality field in front and some far better runners beaten behind, I'm happy with that - given my extra weight.

Orienteering race 48:00 [4]
FVO WEE at Barr Wood.
Feeling stiff and slow but wanted to push hard to try out the ITB's for the weekend. Going OK but went 1 to 3 to 2 to 3 so got a bit miffed with myself. Still, I powered on and enjoyed the beautiful terrain and a different slant on a regular area - thanks Will.
Beaten by Fraser (44) and Tom (I'm just Jogging) Ryan but I know I'm not fit...... ITBs held out well.
