Orienteering race 34:17 [4] 4.0 mi (8:34 / mi)
(injured)
Ludlow Urban Race. Mens Vets, 4.6km, 105m.
A bit out of practice at this kind of race (I've been avoiding tarmac to protect my Achilles) and it showed. Missed the best routes on a number of legs, particularly the long leg where contouring round to the left would have saved about 30 seconds. Made the same mistake as Martin in the castle by looking on the top of the bridge before realising it was down in the moat. Reasonably happy with 3rd, 2 mins down on Quentin and Martin.
Achilles was sore towards the end but not noticeably worse than of late. Unfortunately the usual post-race routine of stretching and ice didn't happen as it was straight to the curry house then back to the tent.
