British Middle, 3rd W18
No big mistakes. Two controls where I lost about 20s because of poor direction - not looking at the map before I got to the control. A bit of time wasted going through the brashings instead of around the paths - espesh in the last 5 or so controls. Messed up the short leg between two pits because for some genius reason I didn't actually look at my map at all.

British Sprints
2nd (1st W18) in my heat and 13th (4th W18) in the A final
Heat went really well (no mistakes, party party) and the final pretty well - started too fast and didn't concentrate on number 1. I'm not map reading fast enough and keep having to stop or walk to look/not look and hope. Probs a bad tactic.
Warm up was better on the heat, or maybe I just felt better because I'd had two days' rest not the 3hrs for the final.

5 mins drills
600m warm up
3 x 1k hard with 1.5 mins panting/walking recovery (one flat, one gently up, one gently downhill)
1.4k warmdown with a playground stop
V. dizzy and a tad blind after the second one, I thought this nonsense had stopped

V. quick utgym session. I'm going to write to SLDC and ask for proper a utgym, monkey bars and planks just do not cut the biscuit I'm afraid. We want Swedish standard.

To Cark station this morning and back this evening. Cycled with a rucksack = bad move = sore bum
