Event: CompassSport Cup SE Heat
11 AM
Orienteering race (CS Cup Great Common) 51:08 [4] *** 6.0 km (8:31 / km) +130m 7:41 / km
spiked:17/20c
Really wanted to do well, but felt a bit rusty and out of practice. 1 to 4 were ok if hesitant. I didn't want a silly mistake early doors. 5, at the bottom of the steep slope, looked hard, but I found a good AP. Ran quite hard up the hill to 7 but leaving control spotted a flag on the slope opposite and assumed it was my 8. It wasn't. I was 100m to the right, minute lost. 10 looked hard so I 'tried' to navigate through the huge holes but overshot a bit. Things looked easier after 11 as there were more tracks. You still had to be careful not to lose bumbling time in the circle though. I strayed rightwards a bit near 17 but spiked the tricky 18. Then run hard up the hill again to the finish. Felt like a long relay course as it was tricky throughout and the pressure was on not to make a mistake. Very enjoyable though, and nice to finish with clean dry shoes for a change.
4 PM
Walk (Whiteways Lodge) 1:20:00 [3] 6.0 km (13:20 / km) +130m 12:02 / km
Brisk walk with Jan along SDW to Amberley for cake then back up the hill through Houghton.

7 PM
Road run race (Corporate Challenge) 16:40 [5] 4.5 km (3:42 / km)
Round 2. This was very much a normal day at the office. I had insufficient desire to beat last week's time and didn't think I was going to get beaten. Ran just within myself. Forgot about knee lift and Jan's pics suggest stride length was on short side. Splits were 4.05, 4.10, 4.10, 4.11. I know how to improve but don't think I have the determination.
