Orienteering race 1:16:27 [4] 10.2 km (7:30 / km) +375m 6:20 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
British Champs, Winterfold
good run, satisfactory result, improvement but nothing dramatic
the mid-morning sandwich (and two dinners the day before?) solved the flat-feeling at late starts, though I didn't realy get into the race until approaching two, a couple of very minor mistakes, steady pace, and position, faded at around 45mins, but had plenty left near the end (3rd fastest to the last control!)
most time loss was pace
1) didn't see start flag (it was on the floor) and so ended up right of the line and used the path as attack point [15secs]
2) didn't pick out left around the road, chose straight option, enjoyed it, but judging by splits, lost a little time [20secs]
5) took at bad line through wood, found some grot [>20]
6) hit it bang on (slowed by car in narrow road? slowing to study long leg?)
7) ran past the crossing point which I expected to be marked (the overprint obscured the feature on the map) had to double back [20secs]
9) stopped for water
10) left route over valleys and up forest road, good route, apart from the climb at the end
12) hesitation as I reached the clearing before the control (I hesitated party because I was knackered) [15secs]
a clean run would've been 75mins
16th, 10:48 behind Bill (ahead of Dave Peel, Colin Smith)

running 37:51 [3] 6.99 km (5:25 / km) +140m 4:55 / km
shoes: Saucony Peregrine
Oker Loop
beautiful evening, couldn't resist, but with BOC on Saturday, it had to be an easy on around Oker, (again!), eye-balling the terrain
so off I went nice and steady and the first split was close to my best (huh?), nice and steady up the hill to the tree, also one of the better splits, didn't push it on the way back either, again pretty good
got some help from the firm going, I think, but pleasing and puzzling at the same time

running (fartlek?) 59:24 [4] 8.69 mi (6:50 / mi) +250m 6:16 / mi
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 272
Oker
wanted to run the (short) Light Green course I've planned for mid-May, so I made this into a kind of fartlek session, varying the pace on the way out and the way back:
very easy down to the railway, fast along the railway, then easy across to Darley Bridge, good effort up the hill, then walk before starting the LG course, race pace (or just under, because I was eye-balling the terrain/map more than usual), then easy for a few minutes before heading home, nice and brisk, via the tree

shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 272
Baslow Edge, Curbar Edge, White Edge, Big Moor, Gardom's Edge
great run, good terrain, apart from some silly business scrambling over rocks below Curbar, and spectacular views
didn't have any problems today and felt pretty strong when we got to the top, loved running with the map to pick up the 'sentinels' on Big Moor, bit of pause at the stone circle, but pushed the pace between the pauses
still coughing a bit and can feel my left thigh/buttock occasionally
