recovery run to Clough Wood to check out the bluebells, not bad, needs to be seen in sunshine, very slow, felt like walking a couple of times but kept on plodding
Satisfied with JK performances. Wasn't expecting great things. Hoped for top ten, but knew I wasn't anywhere near peak fitness. Ran reasonably well considering and my orienteering was tidy. Control flow and concentration were good, navigation also good (but it wasn't that challenging).
I do still exhibit a degree of uncertainty or a lack of confidence in route selection and execution.
One lesson: check compass before changing direction (#6 Middle distance)
Nutrition was better than normal. I often feel weak when starting late at big events. A big breakfast of scrambled eggs and porridge after 9am set me up very nicely.
Pleased with 6th in Sprint, although I suspect some did not attack the course with the same intensity as me.
