Manc City Race - 3rd
Pretty happy with my run, not feeling great with the cold today, had been coughing all night but still managed to push most of the way! Got a stitch half way through and just about managed to run it off but did have to slow for that.
Technically I was happy, but I lost time through the first underpass I had to take because I miss read the levels and then got stuck waiting for a stream of cars to be able to cross the road - maybe 30s. One route choice to the last control that I could have chosen better but not a big loss!
Couldn't really get into today's race - too much stopping for cars, and people, including other orienteers who were going slow, saw you coming and still decided to not move aside or faffed about at the control which was a bit shitty! Still had fun though and am happy to be running faster on these!
Note
Deload week over :D
Coldy so will still take it easy for a few days then try to get back on with a couple pre breks!
Shin has been ok with the hard/cross train regime this week so will continue that way, and see how it is post track.
