Event: Midlands Championships + Interland Selection
 

National Event - Cannock Chase M21E
Beaudesert

Had a reasonble run. Made quite a few mistakes early on. Then bown caught me during an indisticint moment on the way into 15. Then got a tow from the dr for a bit. After a swedish style marsh crossing after 18, my map resembled more like something you would use in the bathroom, rather than orienteering. So I couldn't read any contour detail. F**king waterproof maps.
Stopped to wash it on the way to 19, bone nearly got away. Then caught ed Nichols at 20, to form a wee pack. Then on the final push, I thought bown was holding it back. but failed to participate on the race to the line. Whoop whoop bet bown on the run in. Overall though he gave me a big boost, and is a quality orienteer.

Winner Richard robinsion 93.13. me +9.30
No GB squad took part, imagine they would go ~ 10 mins quicker.
Jonny crickmore had a storming run, and kept it up over the distance, one to watch at JWOC (for the next 4 years!)

BOK Circuits, good session (as akhillhes, mark2 and moi organised it), but not that many turned up. Not feeling 100 %, noticeable on breathing at times. Hope I'm right for sunday.

Lunchtime short loop, but through the trees along ridge, where the nettles have now died down, which was nice.
Felt like i might be coming down with something.

Lunch time run with Pete. Normal blaise run, felt good, nice relaxed pace, and a fair bit of chatting.
