JK Middle – Brereton Spurs
Felt better today, getting a good lengthy warm-up in. Ran well around the first half, but took a cautious route round to #1, going around on the path. Then no mistakes until #11, messing up a short leg that should have been straightforward. I took it too fast and not reading the detail enough caused me to lose around 45 secs-1min. I caught up with Oliver Lunn at #14 but still managed to hesitate on that control as well. Latter part of the course went well, running fast and navigating cleanly with no physical or navigational hiccups after #14.

JK Sprint – MOD Stafford
Very easy sprint around army barracks. Not much navigation needed so no real errors but only a couple of route choice hesitations. Felt physically pretty bad, consequence of not enough warm-up, I think. I ran around with a stitch from #2 so that hindered my concentration a bit throughout. My breathing felt rough and leg speed wasn’t up to a good standard. I ended up quite a bit behind the leaders. Not happy, so several things to reflect on there!

Easy run, preparing mostly mentally for this weekend.

Trying to get rid of the cold I've been having for the past 2 weeks :(

SOL 1, Scotland. Blue, 5.3km. OK race around Auchingarrich, a pretty green map as well. The dark green was mostly dense spruce trees planted in rows so some of it was runnable. Felt pretty good after a tough weekend and kept a steady pace throughout. Made annoying small mistakes at #1, #8, #12, #13, a small parallel error, again. Pretty detailed in that section #12-13 so should have taken more care.
5 races in 36 hours, lots of great Scottish terrain, so an epic weekend!!
