FRA Relays - Leg 3 Howden Moors (Derwent Valley)
Hadn't wanted to do this leg originally but I was the only orienteer left so got stuck with it. Paired with Jenny. We started out pretty well but both suffered quite badly with the length of it and how rough it was through the tussocks. Given how bad I've felt the last month and that it's about double how long I normally run for, it's not really a surprise.
I chose a bad route to 3 thinking that staying on the path all the way round would be faster. But was so much longer and had to cross a steep valley so lost a lot of time. I really should just learn to follow everyone else as they're a lot better at reading these scale maps than I am. The long leg back to 5 was a struggle and definitely lost the will to race going across the rough to 6. Had to do a fair bit of waiting for Jenny as she was suffering even more than I was.

Sprint training at Warwick Uni on the drive north. Was planning to run the women's JWOC selection race from 2017 but Jonny mixed up the maps and gave me the men's instead. Finished thinking I was so slow being 1.5mins slower than the women only to find out I hadn't done that course after all! No wonder it felt so long!
Happy with the nav. Made sure to plan ahead properly as not been doing that very well lately. Fast start, slow and slipping about on the muddy grass through the middle then very slow at the end when I started to tire and also got stuck behind a lot of students in the alleyways.
