Dad planned me a session. Felt a bit slow to start off with but probably the right speed as was struggling at the end (and more hills). The centre of Yeadon is the most interesting but unfortunately they'd demolished a section of it since the map was made.

Hull Uni Prologue
Some good route choice legs but wish there'd been a few more controls. Area was fairly straight forward. Tried to be disciplined in planning ahead but the area didn't really punish you for not doing it properly so was maybe a bit sloppy in places.

British Sprint
Aldershot Garrison SE
Prologue - Heat 2

Mostly good. Think orienteering the last 2 days got my brain in the right gear. Once I caught Barrable I cruised last few controls.

Bit of faff afterwards as one of the units supposedly hadn't registered. Re-downloaded 30 mins later and it had registered! Not sure what the problem was exactly but not the best prep for the final.

Running 1:55 [2] 0.42 km (4:34 / km)

Running 14:49 [5] 4.07 km (3:38 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 190 no.2

Final
Aldershot Garrison North

Too many mistakes in the middle of the course. Then missed 18 out completely (although I must have run within a few metres of it).

Overall though it was positive and good to be back competing again. At no point did I feel 'fast' and some points didn't feel like I was trying hard enough but hopefully I can re-find that in the next few weeks.

Sheffield Chasing Sprint

Think I forgot my brain today. Not planning ahead, picking poor routes and misreading the descriptions several times ending up on the wrong side on uncrossable features... Didn't feel that fit either but that wasn't the biggest issue today.
