Running - Road/Track race (Parkrun - Braunstone) 18:25 [5] 5.0 km (3:41 / km) +41m 3:32 / km
shoes: Adidas Adios 3
2 lap, reasonable course in a not-that-nice park. One long downhill and one short uphill per lap.
Pretty happy with the time given the undulations.
Orienteering - Forest race (Ratby) 1:01:23 [5] 10.73 km (5:43 / km) +135m 5:23 / km

These xtalons no longer have any grip and need to be retired...
3rd. Lost 5 mins - one annoyingly believing pacing over intuition (really must redo pacing as its now 16 years out of date) and so overshooting a clearing, and 4 on a ludicrous second to last control inside a hawthorn wood - why they put a control here I have no idea; lots of people were complaining about it, the rest of the course was reasonably bramble free and all anyone will remember is crawling through those right at end.rant over.
2nd on 95pc of the splits apart from those two; 2nd for the whole course right until the disaster control.rich Robinson miles ahead at the front won every split apart from one i managed to take off him...by 1s.
Pretty good event overall, though.
