11 AM

Orienteering race (SE Vets, Pippingford Park) 1:02:50 [4] *** 6.6 km (9:31 / km) +220m 8:10 / km
spiked:14/22c weight:69kg

Was a bit careless for 2 through 4, although the map felt a little bit subjective. It made no sense at all near 11, where I was looking for a pit near a thicket, but afterwards I could see that the prominent depression in the meander was partly covered by the overprint. Really got going in the open for 14 to 17, but totally c****d up 18 because I was looking for a tributary re-entrant to the stream channel and the right one was up and over the bank. Map was almost no help at 19 either as the scattered trees boundary was non-existent. Probably lost 5 important minutes here (about 8 altogether) and a decent result. Good though. Enjoyed it.

Trail race race (Chichester Parkrun) 20:30 [5] 5.0 km (4:06 / km)
ahr:46 weight:69kg

Had looked forward to this, but legs were heavy on way to start due to unaccustomed time of day. Also, ate breakfast with only an hour to spare and had the start of a stitch on the third lap. And I've called it a trail race because the mud was pretty slippy in parts and x-country shoes would have helped. But felt alright throughout, ran strong, moved through field, and was still pushing at the end. Pleased enough with third place behind two good youngsters. Lap splits 6.40, 6.50, 7.00.

It's only water. But dark and dazzle added 5 mins to morning journey.

Reined it in a bit whenever I felt myself pushing on. Although I ran the last three minutes or so hard. Felt alright.

Event: SO level C (middle) Broadstone warren, Wych Cross, (incl event 6 of SO cham

11 AM

Orienteering race (Broadstone Warren Middles) 55:31 [4] *** 6.1 km (9:06 / km) +240m 7:36 / km
spiked:18/23c weight:69kg

Great area, great map, well-planned courses, and the sun even came out near the end. Just wish I could have kept it together for last six controls. Wasn't running that fast, mostly because of the slippy conditions, but there was some fatigue from yesterday evening. Was finding the nav OK, though, and getting on fine, till Keith passed me at 11 and I decided I should be pushing harder. I missed 12 by a bit and was careless near 15, then got well stuck trying to cross the stream at 16. Jack caught me here and was moving faster still so that encouraged me to push more. Consequently I was too high for 18 and lost about 2 mins here, then made a Horlicks of 20, getting two paths confused so looking for the gully in all the wrong places. Eventually, after almost 3 mins, relocated on the rhoddies. Not that bothered really, as yesterday's run seems more important at the mo.

5 PM

Road run (Summersdale and South St) 30:13 [5] 8.0 km (3:47 / km)

Totally smashed it! Stopped watch for bottom end of North Street because of Christmas Fair, but added 30 seconds for that bit. As I would probably have been under 17 secs if I had been running, that is the long-awaited sub-30. Just felt like I could sprint the whole way round.
