Event: NWO Four Colour Event and Urban Sprint
 

RAF Lyneham - Sprint course - 3.3km

Quite easy, as quite a few controls the same as the Blue course, but tried go as flat out as possible (given state of my legs).....

Adam did 13:10

Legs now sore after all the recent tarmac running

RAF Lyneham - Blue Course - 7.3k

Very sluggish after a night out on curry, beer and whisky celebrating Tim's birthday.

Pretty easy, but good practice for Stafford again, First part on 1:10000 map, around old runway areas.... searched a few of the depressions at no.4 - some big enough to hide tanks

Then there was an urban section on a 1:5000 map (if you remembered to turn over map (I did, but others didn't).

Good fun and another new area ticked off.

Event: BOK Winter League
 

Bath Spa University Campus - Long Sprint style race

Well planned by 'The Legend'. First couple of controls in campus buildings, then a few easy ones in the fields - with energy sapping hills and soggy ground - back into buildings, before some wooded/parkland bits and finishing off in the larger campus buildings bit...

Felt like I was running reasonably well, but making very small sloppy mistakes in places..... misread where last control was, so ended up losing 20 seconds here and a position to Ifor.... (lost 2:00 in total according to Splitsbrowser)

Very high class field for a BOK Saturday event, with Ben, Adam, Owain, Megan and Chloe all present.....

10th ..... Ben was just under 21!!

Collecting controls in far campus section

Cheltenham Street O - 60 min score

Going quite well, but left quad twinging a little and a little sore after
