British Middle Champs, Leith Hill
never really got to grips with the map, had to switch from glasses to magnifier after about four controls, more paths on the ground, didn't feel the previous day in the legs, but that's probably as much as I should say about it, passed fractionally to the right of #11 and found #12 before it but thought it was #11, binned 5mins, probably over 9mins in total

Event: British Sprint Championships
 

British Sprint Champs, M45, Heat C
much too easy, but fun all the same and thankfully my pace is good enough for comfortable qualification, forgot to start Garmin until approaching #2

British Sprint Champs, M45 A Final
rain started after I'd set off for the start, otherwise I would have worn the X-talons, thought I'd gone out hard but the splits suggests I wasn't that fast, kept about a minute ahead of Jon Cross until the muddy slope at #20

#2 looks like taking the steps might've been quicker [10]
#3 hit spur too high couldn't see flag (like so many did before and after) [10]
#12 slow down slope [5]
#13 slow back up slope [5]
#21 slid down slope out of #20 paused to check alternative route, tried again [20]

5th, 2.12 behind Logue, only 45secs off 2nd place

KV's core conditioning and lower body stretches

Oker Loop
steady, when not avoiding cows, very warm

Ashover, Ravesnest, Ashover Hay
shortish run up and along the ridge, bit laboured, partly due to warm and humid conditions, 3mins of stops in total, an owl flew across our path
