EPOC Regional, New Miller Dam, Brown
lovely bit of forest, but pretty easy orienteering, only small time losses, went straight where possible, good pace throughout the race,

6) lost time by crossing the stream at the walkway when it turned out to be unnecessary [10]
16) probably quicker to go round the path to the right [10]
20) kite hung low in pit, stopped 10m beyond [10]
21) came out of control 45° wrong, had to force myself to stop and line up paths, so ended up taking path route [20]
23) misread purple connecting line as a gully, hesitant [10]

4th, 5mins behind Joe Woodley, less than 90secs behind Leon Foster

C • 1310 6

prance around the east end of Forty Acre (checking map) as warm up for intervals

3 x 2km intervals, 90secs rest: 8.31 8.47 8.50

hard work, speed not helped by muddy paths on the back straight, pleased with the first one, times for the other two closer to expected

Tansley Moor Loop
good pace this afternoon, banged my right knee climbing over the gate at the top of Farley Hill, only a glancing blow, but it tore my 'skins'

showing signs of fatigue so taking two days off

Ashbourne, Mapleton, Okeover Hall, Blore
ground was nicely firmed up by the frost, not much mud at all, long hill through the grounds of Okeover, quite a lot of hesitations over the route, Paul had the map and lost the path completely at the far end of the run, JD led us home, two more hills, felt a bit empty up the first but sorted it and really stayed on at the last
