Event: BOK Blast
Note
Woken 3am by copious steps above my bedroom.
I'm done here. On my return, I will rent a detached house in the countryside away from a city. I need to try to stay sane, & I really don't think I can do that living here beneath those two arseholes. Imagine being able to hear people that you hate, and who hate you, all the time, day & night? (do they have jobs? Of course not - wasters).
Last night at a social one mate said "Don't sell the Clifton flat!" . Everyone's always full of advice, but it conflicts, & having made such spectacularly disastrous property / accommodation choices in the past 5 years, I am massively unsure that *anything* I do in the future will be the "right " thing to do.
I am not popular with their landlord. Know what? I couldn't care less. I do not wish to be liked by everyone on the planet, no need.

11 AM
Orienteering race (Urban) 35:32 [5] 7.96 km (4:28 / km) +51m 4:20 / km
shoes: Saucony Fastwitch 6
BOK Blast day 2, Thornbury urban, 8km optimum route race, excellently planned course by Captain Gebbett, in fact exactly what a superb long urban *should* be like - shaking it up, catching you out early, making you concentrate/spin you round when you don't expect it, and a sudden "sprint"-style finish when the brain & body are fading.
Messed up no 1 - v tricky area & hadn't paid attention to description, tho Clive said later it should have been a downward "V" not a sideways "L". 45 secs? oh SHIT!
OK then on, trying to close the imaginary gap between me & Paul caban, and threw it all away at no 16 by falling asleep & overshooting badly - thought 20-25 seconds but actually more like 40 seconds. Damn!
"Luckily" Paul couldn't locate no 8 easily (hidden, he said), or no 17 (also quite "hidden") whereas I spiked them & was 100% confident I knew where they were. He was 34 seconds behind by the end. He's a 3:01 marathoner. Explains a lot!
1st, so 4 urban wins in 4 races this week. I'll take it. Yay.
A really successful BOK Blast weekend for all! and the Klub.
