Orienteering race 39:58 [4] 3.3 km (12:07 / km) +80m 10:48 / km
Much more fluent run - started steady & speeded up (or didn't slow so much) when I caught an SYO lady.
Still caught out by the gully on a poor line to #15. Slow in the sand.

Rushed breakfast & then into a 3 hour drive across to he east coast.
Fell out of car, got changed, quick drink & started course.
Deceptively warm day and after I had been out an hour tough call whether to continue to finish or stop. Ended completeing the course and being very dehydrated. Big errors at #4 & #14 . . . not a happy bunny.
Note
Then to B&B, then NWJS Guide Hut, then ScotJOS village hall.
Glad to make B&B by 10:20pm but then a noisy night - why do some people need to talk from 5am to 5:45am?

30 min walk uphill into the start and nice & warm at the top - didn't bother carrying my cag.
First loop of 5 to the east of Seathwaite Tarn navigated ok and then long leg to #6. Headed across the head of reservoir and then grind up the slope opposite. Found some nice hills to take me across the slope before final descent alongside the marshes down to control. Pleased with this.
Away to #7 another climb and compass to find a boulder, then climb again to #8. Away from #8 and mist had descended and rain started - picking out lumps and boulders and spiked #9. Downhill leg to #10 and although on compass ok, very little seemed to fit. WIth 2 others who overtook whilst I was being hesitant and they dropped slightly lower down the slope. After much peering at the map decided I was at the correct level just slightly north of the control. Ran across to small lump & found shallow reentrant.
Ok along slope to #11 & pretty good half way to #12. This was a difficult leg & I didn't have a strong plan, as well as being very wet & cold.
As I contoured across on roughly the correct line, spied a flag on a boulder below me - and like an absolute novice descended 20m through boulders to confirm that it was of course the wrong code :o(. Long grind back up the slope with very little fitting my "picture", but managed to stumble across the flag just as I was about to turn around.
Rushed plan to #13 and off line through small lumps. Had to relocate and bounce back to small crag. Much more careful to #14 & #15 both of which I spiked & into finish.
Slow crawl back down to assembly field.
Met up with Peter Scott who had walzed around the Blue in 64mins!
And Amelia, whose compass had stopped working on the Green long leg (#4 of 14?) and so was really pleased to finish in the mist & rain on map only.

Warm day so out earlish - circumnavigating fields rather than just on footpaths. Nice easy womble - right calf seemed fine. Didn't notice right shoulder until I'd finished.

ahr:102 max:139 shoes: INOV8 X-Talon 260
Due to right calf cramping dropped to Green. Made decision to walk uphill & jog flat & down. #1 was a bit iffy with marsh & bracken screen not quite right so was warning for rest of course. Tried to navigate just using compass & contours but even the contours weren't easiest to read from the map.
Steady plod around - clean after #1 - right calf held up.
