British Champs relays, Men's Premier. 2nd leg of SYO first team with Dane and Aidan. Dane came back 4th setting me out about 2 mins behind CLOK and INT. (Aidan R and Murray). Somehow had caught them both by 3. Predictably Murray soon dropped us and at 6 I got clear of Aidan after he went to the wrong gaffle. Then lost about 2 minutes on 8 by just running off with no plan and poor direction too. Ended up too far right and when I got to 8 I saw Aidan running to 9 and then Dan appeared just behind. Closed the gap to Aidan slightly over the rest of the course and got caught by Dan. Ended up putting Aidan S out about a minute behind GG and Duncan Archer. He came back 3rd so a pretty decent result in the end (mainly thanks to Aidan). Don't think we'd have beaten INT and FVO anyway so I did well enough.

British champs. Lost 2 mins on 3 in the circle. Lost probably 3 minutes over the rest of the course through small mistakes and stuff. I'm just a bit slow.

Informal SYO score event. Not putting it as orienteering as it was all on paths and thus not hard. Just about the route. Got all the 'controls' which were things such as post box numbers and phone numbers of shops.
