Running race 5:06:15 [3] 42.64 km (7:11 / km) +2068m 5:47 / km
shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212 (5)
Little sleep, knees feeling pretty screwed and left shin very sore but wanted to give today a go.
The first 7 controls were tough and slow going, we took it steady but were still feeling reasonable. Was very conservative on the downhills due to knee and shin pain. Lost a little time on each 9 (~90s) and 10 (30s) and still feeling fine at 12 so ploughed on. Foolish route to 13 though dropping down through the bracken to the fence as the undergrowth was awful; lost a good 10mins here.
Uneventful after that until the finish. 5th overall after a drop out. Still really disappointed with performance overall this weekend.

Running race 8:25:00 [3] 52.0 km (9:43 / km) +2500m 7:50 / km
shoes: Inov8 X Talon 212 (5)
Bar a hiccup missing the path up the hill to one and having to run back ~100m, the first 3.5hrs up to 12 were comfortable and straight forwards. Nick pushed on up to 13 which is the first time I started feeling it a little but still moving ok on the contouring. We lost a bit of time on 14 being too high and having to bash down the braken into the control. Also not sure going straight using the path to 15 was the best option as it meant a big climb at the end of the leg, though our split was solid.
The wheels came off for me on the way to 17 and it was pretty sudden. We dropped more than perhaps we should have and stopped to get water from the stream but as I stood back up I suddenly felt very dizzy and out of breath. I felt truly awful. I just tried to hang in there to 18 but the climb into 18 was excruciating; I had absolutely no power to get up the hill and was more a crawl on all fours. Had taken on more food and water but these made no difference but I didn't think they would but worth a try.
The last 4-5km was really tough tussocks and wind was biting. I don't remember huge amounts of this section, I was borderline hypothermic and just trying to move forwards, which at times was hard. Our split was nearly 9mins on the run in, I don't know what I was doing to take that long?
We finished 6th on the day which was disappointing particularly given it was going ok. Had lost an hour in that last 10km or so.

Maps was a couple years old and the vegetation had clearly changed quite a bit in that time. There were also a number of controls not where they should have been. Through the first 15 in about 25 mins so looked to be plenty of time for the last block of 8. The next three were okish through young plantation forest with lots of bramble. Then the next was on a bush close to the top path and I ran round brambles for a good couple of minutes before spotting the control much further down the hill. I'm not sure whether the map was wrong (I think this was the case TBH) or it was on the wrong feature.
Sprinted for the next control on a pond then down the hill for a control on a veg boundary; it wasn't there. Ran around for a minute or so confirming I was in the correct place but no control. Continued as I was now very short on time 42min elapsed. Straight to the next but again the vegetation was mapped correct so going straight wasn't feasible and then realised I had ~1min so was a sprint for the finish. 10s over.
Had to then head straight off to get Grace to a birthday party so a tiny warm down.
But of a frustrating one. I wasn't orienteering well but I think that was partially due to lack of confidence in being about to accurately navigate using the map. Time lost was significant, with about 3 mins on a couple of tripods constructed in the wrong places - one not even in the circle. another couple of the tree and then another min on the veg boundary control I never found.
Still feeling quite flat after sickness bug too.

slept:2.5 (sick)
Awoke about 1:10am and couldn't sleep; stomach became uncomfortable by 3am and was throwing up shortly after. Headed south during the morning. By the evening I had manged to eat very little. Obviously no work or training the only positive being it got me out of an afternoon meeting in central London.

bit more of a trail race TBH but still enjoyable. At the front from the start and soon had to pull my map out to make sure I didn't go wrong. Nearly di ~4km in but back on track. About 30s lead after 8km but up through White Edge and Big Moor and pushed on a bit and grew a big lead. Finished comfortably with about a 3-4min lead.
