Orienteering race 44:41 [4] 7.69 km (5:49 / km) +35m 5:41 / km
shoes: Inov8 MudClaw 333
A fast course that I should have done better on. I wasn't aware of being slow on control #2 (although I was) and made a small route choice error which amplified on #4. Same again on #7. Details in the split commentary.
Over-ran 32%; race pace 7:38.

Orienteering race (forest) 1:12:33 [4] 10.49 km (6:55 / km) +83m 6:39 / km
shoes: Inov8 MudClaw 333
Lovely to be running on open beech woodland again - just like home above Wendover. The first half was good, to the extent that I was marginally ahead of Mike at about the halfway mark. However the latter part of the second half as we entered less clear-cut areas saw me rushing and losing connection with the map. A shame to end so badly, eight minutes down.
Over-ran 18%; race pace was 8:06 per mile. Fastest split for the final control on both Black and Short Brown, which doesn't make up for a poor second half, but is still quite useful!

Orienteering race (forest) 1:14:12 [4] 9.97 km (7:27 / km) +257m 6:36 / km
shoes: Inov8 MudClaw 333
Great to be out running in the forest, but it was 3ºC, chucking it down with rain and windy. Perhaps not best to be running in just a short-sleeved t-shirt.
A good run, largely on bearings with few mistakes overall. More split comments to come later.
6th out of 41, which I'm quite pleased with.

Road Cycling 2:04:32 [3] 51.93 km (25.0 kph) +467m
slept:7.5 weight:73.7kg shoes: Specialized Tarmac Elite 2009
Deceptively cold wind today, but beautiful sunny afternoon otherwise. A combination of having ridden 100 miles already this week, raced on Tuesday evening and generally poor conditioning meant that I had very little to offer on the climbs. Surprisingly and pathetically slow at times.
I probably noted this before, but last summer I genuinely wasn't aware of the climb from Effingham Junction up to Ranmore Common. Six months later and I'm aware of every slight change in the gradient. I need to drop the weight and get the strength back.
