Note
Matt's birthday. A just-past-midnight walk up to the col by Mam Tor seemed a good plan at the time....

Event: London City Race
12 PM
Running warm up/down 10 [2] 1.5 km (7 / km)
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
To the start, it was a bit delayed so managed to fit in some drills too.
Orienteering race 59:06 [5] 11.3 km (5:14 / km) +30m 5:10 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
London City Race, Men Vet (35+)
A bit scrappy in places and short of pace in the first half where there were a number of longer/simpler legs with (in a parallel universe) scope to stride out.
Didn't get all the best routes later on with the underpasses by the canals etc, but relatively good through that section.
Winner was 52:37 when I left.

Running warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.75 km (6:40 / km)
Mostly warmed up by walking to the event.
Orienteering race 25:36 [5] 4.1 km (6:15 / km) +25m 6:04 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
Imperial College night sprint.
Course 2 (Men 35+ and Women Elite)
14th of 79, five (!) mins behind Alice Leake....
Fun race in the multi-level stuff, with loops in park at beginning and end. Glad I didn't believe the chat that "you might want a torch to read the map", I had a small torch and was wishing for a better one at times.
A couple of mistakes of a minute or more, totally misunderstood the map to #6 for quite a while, didn't understand there was an underpass in the west so didn't use it to #8 and then got confused and went to #9 first anyway! Similarly didn't understand there was a western underpass on the long leg to 10 which cost time as well.
Fun but not to be taken too seriously :)

shoes: VJ Falcon Aug 2015
FVO tech training at BarrWood.
Not feeling lively enough to bash down the bracken with any enthusiasm. And incompetent enough with the nav that I kept having to stand around. On the other hand, good turnout plus a curry afterwards :)
