Event: Summer Sleepover '18
 

74.278km with 1268m climb in 4:29:36. Purbeck 4.5 hour mtbo score. Hot day decided to go clockwise as knew I would be able to get water at studland. 10 17 passing people doing 100k ultra to 15 21 bit overgrown to 9 nice climb up to 22 fast descent to 26 going down rought decent map board all over the place. Right hand upright snapped at bend. Kept going up to 14 then stoped and got first aid kit out and found some tape to bodge it together 3 or 4 mins work. Overshot 7 2 mins. 23 was looking on road when there was a parallel path 5 mins lost probably. 5 ok turn over map long road slog to 25 reverse to 6 started seeing sandy bits to 3. Missed a turn just before 19 60s 4 ok. Slow up small sidetrack by golf course to 13. Trouble finding track by golf course down to. Agglestone then very sandy. 3 mins lost for 12. Missed turn for 8 1 min and a bit slow spitting it. Filled bottle. Very busy on path to headland. Overshot and tried all the small paths before finding 24 3 mins. Slow going up hill in baking heat even with fresh water. Nice descent from 11. Even harder slow climb again passing people doing quarter and half the ultra up to 18 again nice down for 20 pushing back up to ridge before fast drop to 16. Time running late so Skiped 2 straight back past finish out for 1 back in with 24 secs to spare.

All a bit too scrappy adding it up 18 mins lost so fortunate to have 4 point lead over Ian. Need to do better tomorrow.

9.198km with 283m climb in 0:59:33. Run from the star in around the woods below the airport. Too bad we can not o here. 9km run but did not go into half the wood. It's big enough for a British champs easaly. Did a different route to normal with the new start so saw some more of it today there really are some nice white bits and of course features and big contour details as well. A few too many fences maybe but at least the dangerous holes all have a fence around them. Wood be nice to do it when the blue bells ate out.

A bit of an issue accidentally pausing rather a lot so log may be a bit short.
