Orienteering (Park Race) 23:01 [4] *** 5.02 km (4:35 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 AW11
SLOW Ravenscourt Park Race. Nice sprint-style park race (1:3000), with 29 controls in a 3.8km straight-line course, and plenty of traps (reading control descriptions essential) - especially once you turned over the map for the last few controls - about five trap legs in a row! Tried to run hard for the last third of the race, to catch up Elite Pete - he was a minute ahead of me but it took the rest of the race, and a sprint right at the end, to get past him. Then again, he is faster than he used to be! Finished 13th= of around 80.

Event: Park Race 3: Grovelands Park
7 PM
Orienteering race (Park Race) 28:27 [4] ** 5.94 km (4:47 / km) +60m 4:34 / km
18c shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 AW11
LOK Grovelands Park Race - Race 3 in this year's London Park Race Series. Struggled to find the line to the first control, and then messed up the second control by going straight through the green, and also stopped short at the fifth control, due to extra detail on the ground. My 30s man Vince overtook me here so I accelerated from here on to try and regain the time. I was about 20s ahead of him at Control 10 and then pushed all the way to the end of the race - beating Tom by 3 seconds, which was nice, and finishing 6th of around 80. Hot, sunny evening.
