French Long Distance Championships - Vercors, French Alps Good, lengthy warm-up before my start which helped me get rid of a stitch when I got it soon into the course. Felt great otherwise, altitude not being a problem. Navigation was a tiny bit scrappier than I would have liked - lost maybe 2mins in total due to around 4 small errors. Monster leg 3-4 @ 2.4km took 19 mins! Map: https://ibb.co/iVt3n8
Running warm up/down 20:00 [3] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)
WU at District sports.
Running race 2:21 [5] 0.8 km (2:56 / km)
Happy with 2:21 for 800m against some county level athletes. Started off very quickly but settled down to stay with the 2nd place runner. Second lap was a killer, managed to keep my speed but didn't have enough to sprint to the finish.
WU - 4 laps of ~250m To practice using others as a mental help, we were in groups of 3, taking it in turns to lead while the others follow behind. - 5 x 45secs, - 2min, 1min, 30secs - 2 x 500m cross country with hills. WD - 200m jog.
Orange course, Leg 2 for GO Bananas 1 junior team, running with Tina & Ellie.

Orienteering race 43:00 [4] 6.0 km (7:10 / km)
SE Relays - Holmbush Country Park Good run on Short Blue, felt surprisingly strong after running Orange earlier for our junior team. Solid run, losing time only to silly route choice errors. My compass direction out of #12 was a bit off but relocated quickly and compensated for sprinting down the road to attack #13.
