Just a run. Another one.
On the pitches. Legs not feeling the most sprightly early on.
Some pain on the inside of my shin / calf last couple of days. And tight achilles to add.

Running 18:51 [2] 4.08 km (4:37 / km)
Latest I've done yet. Again, nearly off the wagon.
Some guy was driving round the estate with his hazards on stopping at every house and checking out their front doors. Second time I've seen this in the last year.
Sketchy at 2am.

IOC Relay - DSQ
Jaysus, nearly DSQ in 3 of the 4 races.
Doesn't bother me too much here, 2nd, 3rd, DSQ it's all the same result - you lose.
Absolutely farcical relay, but don't think it necessarily affected the result hugely. Impossible to know what would happen on a normal map, but usually I find the best still come out on top when the area is dodgy, and that wasn't UCDO, by a long shot.
Multiple controls in the wrong place, inconsistent mapping in many places, but mostly the map was actually alright. Gaffles this year, but not sure if it was worth it, because the unequal lengths were unfair and could have jeopardised it if the relay had been tight on last leg.
Great shame because the middle & long were great events on great maps, and well organised. That won't be forgotten about the previous two days though at least.
Personally, had a bad start to the run with a 15sec miss too high on 2. Down to the track to 3, cut up at the right time, and searched the forest but pretty clearly no control in or around here. Back down to the track and into the forest further along - there is a control on a different feature.
Hard to imagine how people will have nailed this because you needed to overshoot by quite a bit (on the track it's not much further, but if there had been 2 controls and someone had gone to the far one, it would be a bad mistake surely). Lost 1min - 90sec there, not sure.
I was still a bit poor though and was uncertain on 4, and on when to cut in on 5. Another 30sec.
Fine from 6 through 10 but just a little de-motivated and not moving well enough. Fine for 11 because I had heard people chat about this, but very badly in the wrong place again.
Fine fir 12 & 13, but took an earlier ride than I should have to 14, and was hesitant, cost 15-20sec I would estimate.
To be honest, fine from here home, but just not putting as much in as I should have been.
Disappointing end to the weekend & the UCDO career.
