Crazy control pick straight off the start, made all the more mental by the 1:15 map. Decided to just go into defensive mode and remember that it was better to be a bit slower as supposed to haemorrhaging time.
Small wobbles to #5 and #9 before a lovely banana to #10 when I failed to spot the path junction. From the sounds of it, so did everyone else. Lost around 40secs here.
Pushed on and was rewarded with my first glimpse of Matt going towards #15. Worked well through the next few with nice purpose through the rough stuff.
Caught sight of Matt at #24 but then a little bit of hesitancy on the way to the next control meant I didn’t get him till #27. Both of us slightly missed the penultimate control through misreading the map.
Overall, a good fun race and can’t be anything but delighted with the result. Had to keep wits about me throughout and just not lose focus in the techy bits at the start. An excellent weekend - couldn’t have been better.

Delighted with this. Knew it was going to be a case of putting the foot down and deploying the point and shoot strategy.
Started aggressively, going through 2k in 7:31(!). Only real tangible time loss was a small 5sec hesitation at #9 when I stopped a tad too early. Beyond that, just kept giving the beans whilst always looking up and sighting as much as I could.
Nearly hesitated to the last control when a poorly placed fold in my map made me think I was looking for some forested crags but I soon just ploughed on.
A great result and my fastest ever mins/km for non-sprint orienteering. No complaints with the fitness or the nav today.

ahr:155 max:162 shoes: Brooks Trace 1 #2
A fun sprint on a quite demanding area. Was cautious off the start to make sure I didn’t completely torpedo the long first control, which worked well. Carried on with a decent route to #3 and after this I got into my rhythm. Eyes had been watering a bit because of the cold which was annoying but soon died down.
Only tangible time losses were an unnecessary wiggle to #7 and missing the air punch on a previous one.
Kept the pace consciously high and always tried to look for the options with the least 90 degree turns. Kept strong into the finish, even if I did struggle to actually find the finish unit due to some cheeky decoy stakes.
Then followed a nervous wait for jim, who ended up being on the same time! A nice change from a 2 second L, as was the case last year.
So overall a long, techy sprint which required focus throughout. Onwards.

5x(500,300) recovery of 1min shuffle/100m and 2min shuffle/300m between reps
Much nicer to be doing a session where you don't have to wait interminably for people who you then won't run with in the actual rep.
Keeping things restrained in advance of a racing weekend but managed to work the 500s down to 85secs which was quite promising. Added in a little flying 100 on the final shuffle which spiced things up a bit. Overall, we didn't reinvent the wheel, but some progress was banked.
