Pleased with 10th, last year my best result was 11th (in M40, with JL sitting it out), but it was a real missed opportunity today, in good health I would certainly have run better with more focus and aggression, 6th was a real possibility
also pleased to see I was 5th on the long leg (10) and also on another pure running leg (16), matched Martin Ward from there to the finish

1 PM
Orienteering race 32:22 [4] 3.9 km (8:18 / km) +170m 6:49 / km
slept:6.0 (sick) shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
British Middle Champs, Stanton Moor
this had been my big target this year (it's so close to home), so very frustrating to get a heavy cold the week before, ran okay, in the end, but it was so hard to get going, it was as if I had to break through a barrier, and with it came the sweat, could've been a stunning result had I been healthy, then there were the two mistakes:
8) 'contoured' using the track that had been created, but it took us low and I laboured upwards I overshot and zig-zagged to the flag (60secs)
11) a little hestitant, but visited the right control, only to misread the code and move on, fortunately, I came back to it (50-60secs)
10th, 6mins behind JL, would be more pleased had I not been pipped by club rival Andy Sykes (1sec)(and 2secs by Kenny Leitch)
getting there, but will I still be around next year?
