11 AM

Orienteering race (Nottingham city race) 44:07 [4] *** 9.92 km (4:27 / km) +150m 4:08 / km
spiked:29/31c shoes: Inov8 Terrafly 303

Nottingham city race 2012

running mens open , not feeling my best beforehand , had a sore knee from yesterday , but once i got going it was ok , pretty standard really , 6 mins down on peter H in 1st , and 3:45 down on will G , made a couple of small undershoots , and a missed the path on a couple of them , main problem was the closed gate going into 15 , lost 35 secs , and people who took the other route gained advantage , and they decided not to void the control ? ? ? ? , anyway apart from that knee was fine , heel a bit sore near the end , felt pretty unfit especially on the hill at the end , not happy to lose to mark burley by 8 secs , who took 10 secs out of me on the run in :L woops .

Event: Cliffhanger Ultrasprint

12 PM

Orienteering (qualifier 1 ) 4:01 [2] ** 0.69 km (5:49 / km)
spiked:11/13c shoes: Inov8 X talon 212 (old)

cliffhanger ultra sprint qualifier 1 ,

not bad , really not used to o ing in this scale , far to short though with the maze taken out at last minute , made 2 mistakes, one my fault one not , first one , though i could get through a gap but couldn't , lost +25 secs , which is loads for a 4 min course , then chose a route choice round the north of a big bush , but a unmapped security fence had been put up +7 secs , to many mistakes not happy at all , got sympathy with the unmarked fence though as they weren't to know , just wished we were warned , anyway finished in top 10 i think ( no results yet )

1 PM

Orienteering (qual 2 ) 4:07 [2] *** 0.67 km (6:09 / km)
spiked:13/14c shoes: Inov8 X talon 212 (old)

qual 2 , just one mistake here , but still to much for an ultra sprint , another +25 secs , by overshooting a path massively and having to cut through undergrowth back , annoyed me , still not got head in 1:2000 scale . lucky to qualify in 5th ,as only top 6 get into A final .

2 PM

Orienteering race (cliffhanger A final) 10:42 [3] 1.62 km (6:36 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X talon 212 (old)

mass start ,

first control only had one punch , massive scramble for it , then was on my own butterfly gaffle for a bit , then starting seeing niel in the distance making little mistakes , punched first radio in 2nd , then kept behind neil up to spectator , made a miss on 3rd radio and the group caught back up , had joe taunton , right behind me for 22-25 , then made a break for neil in the distance , but he was to fast over the final field , and i finished in 2nd

MP'd on no 7 , not happy as the control circles were crossing , same feature , 5m apart on two trees , apprarently they had forgotten to collect it after qualifier , also in reverse numbers , looking for 73 , other feature to close was 37 , far to close together , especailly as 73 had fallen over :L anyway i got a 30 second penalty , not really happy about that , but thats what the penalty is for MP'ing at cliffhanger , retained 2nd as i had pulled out a decent gap over 3rd , still with the 30 second penalty second fastest on course :-)

got a nice thermal , good race , could be improved in places , but well organised and good fun and different :-) and i would have never beaten neil anyway .

shoes: Inov8 Terrafly 303

went out for an easy run round blaise castle , was initially going to go with duncan , but he decided to turn up late , so i just went out with a couple of younger guys from the club , went down into the valley , up the zig zag , round the field a couple of times to watch the blaise blazer go past , then back down the valley , up the beach grove , then a big loop round the golf course , back down the hill , back into the valley , and along the bottom path back up to the club house.

it was very wet and muddy , lucky i was wearing trail shoes , nice to get out round blaise :-)
