Orienteering race 1:13:57 [4] 12.35 km (5:59 / km) +136m 5:41 / km
shoes: New Integrator
Harvester Leg 3 for NGOC
Set off a little later than planned but it was still dark this year!
Paths to #1 and #2, keeping it simple. Went round again on #3, but still missed the control (depression in the bracken) looking too far south, losing 2m 30s. Wobbled out of #4, another 30s, but proceeded to hit #5 well. Out to main path and back in to #6. Poor route to #7 (too far north), not reading the map enough here, 50s. Good plan to #8 (attack down gully from small hill) but didn’t stick to it initially, 30s. Poor route choice to #9 (went far left to path), no real attack point, and very lucky to stumble over the flag after not too long (1m 20s). Good running to #10, but insufficiently direct and looking too far west at the business end of the leg (2m). #11 and #12 good, bit of time loss (10s) to #13 as climbing but spiked #14 (getting light now). Wrong path to #15 but realised immediately (25s). Good to #16 and #17 but confused by all the tape on the way to #18 and lost a lot of time here before finally attacking from the mine (2m 30s). Simple to end.
3rd on Course, 4th on Leg; pulled team up 2 places.
Over 10mins of time loss which is annoying but still enjoyed it.
Team finished 14/17 (+2)

Have been up in Scotland since Wednesday evening. I could have made time for a couple of short runs but didn't. Not a good sign.
8 hour drive back to Gloucestershire this afternoon...

(rest day)
Just realised that I was the lucky recipient of 50 UKOL points for Sunday... Had a little look and I am currently 2nd M21 in the league. Given the prestigious status of this competition and the high esteem in which it is regarded by the entire orienteering community I am anticipating an interview for a full media release on the British Orienteering website very shortly.
