SPOOK relays. Ran with Clare Baker on the B course... and was very glad they had forgotten to change us to the A. first course was a 2.1k sprint, which turned out to be a min of 4.6k, and second was a short micro-o course in the park on 1:1000 map. very slow on the first course, but the navigation challenge increased on the second, and my running speed was quite fast enough. 3rd team on the b, and first girls.

Event: ShUOC Sheffield City Chase
 

Sheffield city chase prologue. Slow, but navigated ok, and managed to avoid any really dumb mistakes. Had a few stops to figure out which side of the impassable feature a couple of controls were on. One control was removed from the course due to a land access issue, so splits were removed because of that. result was ok until then, but I'd been quite fast on those legs, so I was a bit further down for the chase.

City chase final. first part was pretty crazy, with lots of legs overlapping, and too many people running too close together. quite a few near collisions at the start. caught Jenny and Laura about 2/3 of the way around the course, (about 40secs?) and got a bit ahead, but then stuffed up one control, and took the wrong route choice on the next, and was behind for the last part of the course. no chance in a sprint finish against jenny, and ended up about 1 sec behind, but laura had missed a control, so 4th overall. time is a guess, will find some results and correct it.

cbf training. busy travelling, and been feeling a bit off the last week or so. probably just lack of sleep, and not so great food while travelling.
