Psyched for Graythwaite this weekend. First time I went there:
1999 British Championships M12A
1st Robert Farrington 34:34
2nd Joseph Taunton 34:38
3rd Duncan Coombs 35:25
http://www.maprunner.co.uk/index.php?option=com_lq...What price that top 3 this Saturday?! Incidentally I recall that I could have been British Champion on that occasion – if I had cheated. For context, note that it was pin punching at the time.
I must have had a fairly decent run overall, but recall that I got completely lost on one leg; for sake of argument say that I was heading from #8 to #9. After doing an impression of a headless chicken I found a control and relocated - it was my #11! Had I punched #11 at this time before proceeding to #9 (thus meaning I could subsequently go straight from #10-#12) I would have certainly saved the 5 seconds necessary to beat Farrington. I did not, however, and as such my conscience is clear.
