Orienteering race 1:07:22 [4] 7.5 km (8:59 / km) +280m 7:34 / km
Welsh Champs at Merthyr Mawr. Enjoyed this - nice to get a new bit of map - woods by the old campsite.
Ran Short Brown, and reasonably clean - tho' should have shaved off 30 s or so on 4 (poor direction and a bit hesiatnt at the end) , a minute on 13 ( poor direction ) and another 30s on 20 ( went too direct - up and down) .
Happy to win the M50 - first time I have had my name on that Trophy - but there were a couple of M45s I would have liked to have beaten.

Orienteering 1:07:05 [3] 6.51 km (10:18 / km) +105m 9:32 / km
Not going to be able to make the MDC run next week at Kenfig, so took the opportunity of enough light after Alice's work to run there with her. Such a fab' place to run. Bumped into Oscar and Brendan.
Lots of evidence of sheep and cattle south of the main fence, which would be great if is deliberate. But I suspect there had just been a breach of the fence recently. Certainly all the stock we saw was now north of the fence.

Run 58:00 [3] 9.8 km (5:55 / km) +160m 5:28 / km
Easy sociable run with Ben, Meg and Chloe over to Blaise. Not surprisingly, everything very greasy. Starting to yearn for the clocks to change.
Forgot my banana for afterwards, but Megan came to the rescue with some cashew nuts.

Orienteering long 1:19:29 [4] 7.7 km (10:19 / km) +340m 8:27 / km
Northern Champs at Bigland.
Legs a bit weary from the night race, but navigation pretty clean. A couple of avoidable bananas, but that was about all.
Obviously a fun area to run/ orienteer, but finished feeling a bit short changed by the planning, which certainly on my course, didn't make things as technically challenging / interesting as they could have been.
