Orienteering race 28:41 [3] 3.0 mi (9:34 / mi)
LOK Ultrasprint. Men 40+
3 short races including a maze
6:01 (2) 5:52 (2) 7:53 (21) 19:46
A 30 sec penalty on the third (actually first) punch the wrong side of a tree - correct flag was invisible on approach - sneaky!
Then a final, in 7:55, coming a distant second behind John Owens.
Was all a bit geeky with loads of controls and trickery, not really orienteering, but still it was the running speed that did me in as Mr Owens ran away off the start.

Event: London City Race
Orienteering 44:10 [3] 5.8 mi (7:37 / mi)
London City Race. M50 4th this year. Would have needed to be ultraclean to win it (42.43), and nobody was. Lots of fence sides. Lost a minute on the long leg losing touch on the approach while planning ahead, and 20 sec going towards 13 from 11, again too much planning ahead.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Some of this, mainly warm up.

Orienteering race 20:21 [3] 2.2 mi (9:15 / mi)
Multilevel shenanigans at night around ICL. Could make much sense of the levels so just decided every time a level change was plausible, it would be required. This metaorienteering approach worked OK, but still beaten into 3rd by Philip Eeles and the mapper.
Running warm up/down 35:00 [1] 2.0 mi (17:30 / mi)
Around ICL, then some with-bag jogging between Turnham Green and John Qs at East Sheen.

Running 59:00 [3] 7.0 mi (8:26 / mi)
Back in the tired swing of things in "warm as Spain without the rain" Edinburgh. Monday run, finishing down the Glen Road.
Orienteering 40:00 [2] 3.0 mi (13:20 / mi)
Control collection. Had a look at the one I missed, a small gap between crags blocked by a bush got offline, then was within sight of the control, but looked the wrong way. Generally got to understand how the mapper was doing it - grey as default, including bare rock and open stuff, and "crags" that aren't vertical. Cliffs used sparingly, very vertical, not necessarily high, often providing shelter for some bushy stuff.
Anyway, great weekend, can recommend Spain for O an y time. Need to get back and get it right.
