Urban Orienteering race 16:25 [4] 3.1 km (5:18 / km) +20m 5:08 / km
British Sprint Champs Bath Uni - Qualifier.
Generally off the pace. Just one significant wobble - 15 s on 9 - spotting ahead of me what I thought were three mapped trees in the pattern I was expecting - actually mapped as scattered trees - and on the orther side of a path - so no excuses. But failed to qualify for A final by 25s anyhow. Dissappointed - need to make sure I do some faster running as part of project 60 ....

Urban Orienteering race 13:17 [4] 2.5 km (5:19 / km) +20m 5:07 / km
B Final. For some reason, a much better performance - easy parkland start, meant I got up to a good tempo from the start ??? Not sure. No problem with multi level stuff - geeking on Friday, paid off in that regard.

Orienteering race 26:18 [4] 3.2 km (8:13 / km) +30m 7:51 / km
Thought it might be a good idea to take in SBOC sprint race around the marina. Traffic diabolical getting into Swansea along Fabian Way - Alice got out and ran last mile or so to get there on time.
When I evenually got there, I was not feeling like running at all, after nearly three hours in the car, but Paddy had kept start open, and I was persuaded to run. No warm up tho' so very slow to start. As I got going started to enjoy it. Almost stopped too soon - completely missing last two controls out but Alice and Pddy shouted at me, so I completed the course. Fortunately journey back was closer to the customary one hour.

Note
(rest day)
Taxi service from4:30 a.m. and then travel. Bit of time to kill before flight, so visited northern archipeligo for the first time. Not as nice as the southern one - cars and a lot more industry. But still an interesting place to see. And if the weather had been better probably some nice walking / swimming.

Orienteering race 51:05 [4] 5.7 km (8:58 / km) +10m 8:53 / km
Göteborg district long champs. Rough bit of forest, but a lot more path running than I had been doing all week. One 20 s wobble in the circle. And one medium length leg where I opted to take on the "light "green. Cost me nearly 2 minutes according to winsplits. And when I looked at livelox it was no surprise that all the locals went round. Still, quite pleased with my run.
