Orienteering 31:53 [4] 6.0 km (5:19 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 2012
SLOW night-o at Richmond Park. Despite my SE England orienteering upbringing I have never run here before!
Assumed it would be really simple - it was, but that assumption plus headtorches everywhere when near the circle plus multiple unmapped paths together were enough to make me v scrappy early on through the first four. Had a crashing fall on the way to #6 and then missed that too, gave myself a bit of a talking to after that and started to use compass and orienteer properly.
Okay after that and feeling good running. Turns out the guy in the red o-top who ran past me v easily early on was Simonas Krepsta, no shame in not keeping up with him! He ran 28:20.
As ever with these events then based from a pub with great food and beer, missed the start of the pub quiz unfortunately....

Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)

Jog to start, tight right calf afterwards so ten mins extra warm down before heading to pub to download.
