Run 40:00 [3] 5.1 km (7:51 / km)
A less relaxing morning than I had anticipated because of having the last 15 controls to put out (see yesterday's entry). It turned out that I'd taped one of them in the wrong spot and the controller hadn't noticed - goes to show that you can never have too many checks. (I think this was a drawing mistake rather than a navigation one, as the knoll the tape was on was (a) not plausibly confusable with the one it was supposed to be on and (b) was a much nicer feature).
Once this was done, there was time to do what I'd thought might be my main activity for the morning - running around the controls I'd put out yesterday to check that they were still there and turn the SI units on. Felt reasonably smooth, and stronger than other days this week.
The event seemed to go pretty well; it's a good area, although the green is not particularly stable (in general, the gorse has thinned, the blackberry has spread), and new tracks seem to pop up every time we go out there. A good M21 race too with five within 90 seconds of the lead.
