Orienteering race 16:17 [5] ** 2.3 km (7:05 / km) +80m 6:02 / km
spiked:12/13c
BOC Relay:
ran the second leg in the Mixed Ad Hoc race with Patrick Higgins and his girlfriend, Mari. I got the orange course in the lottery, which was kind of fun, but felt I had to nail it. Almost. Found an unmarked path on 4 - should have known was unmarked - which led me into the wood 80m early and had to slow to check map. Strange to be punching at controls on paths, the ones you'd usually ignore.
Could - and should - have run faster, but still took us into first place (by 3 secs) for Paddy to bring home, which he did, only discovered this later as the commentator hadn't mentioned this race.
Back in the medals after 27 years. :))

Orienteering race 1:57:10 [5] ***** 9.6 km (12:12 / km) +280m 10:39 / km
spiked:18/26c
BOC Individual:
ran pretty well in Greno, missed 8 high, hitting the big depression, but was in 15th place at the crossing (where I grabbed a drink), messy on the thickets at 13, still had a chance at top twenty, and then came Wharncliffe ...
lost confidence in distance travelled attacking 15 when I was bang on route to the flag, then on 18 I took the path uphill, lost concentration (thinking about how I was still actually running!) and missed collecting feature (power lines), got confused finding a boulder field instead of the control, on 19 stayed above the flag because of an unmarked vegetation boundary
very hard going from 21 onwards
