Event: British Middle Distance Championships

9 AM

Cycling (To/from Event) 1:39:25 [2] 31.91 km (3:07 / km)

York city centre to the British Middle Champs area, then back (much more slowly) in very warm rucksack. Then later home from KX. Laden with heavy bag throughout.

11 AM

Orienteering (Middle Distance) 53:56 [3] **** 6.5 km (8:18 / km)
27c slept:4.5 (injured) shoes: Adidas Swoop 2s

British Middles. Men's Open. Sunny, warm. One to forget - a bit of a disaster really. Huge mistake on the way to No. 1 - think I came off the start kite in the wrong direction, my focus having gone as I was put off by an extremely upset competitor. Then lost my left shoe in a nasty swamp on the way to 3, took ages to untie the laces and get it back on. Finally, in the middle section, went over on my foot several times (each time more painful than the last). Gave up after this and jogged the rest of the way around the course. The area looked pretty but I found it nasty underfoot with tussocks and swamps everywhere.

Very sleep deprived (Ace Hostel in York was very noisy) so perhaps that was a contributing factor.

9 PM

Cycling (Old to New to Old) 42:21 [2] 15.25 km (2:47 / km)

Very tired.

Course 1 - Splits

Event: British Sprint Championships

11 AM

Orienteering (Sprint Race) 16:32 [5] *** 2.6 km (6:22 / km) +25m 6:04 / km
slept:4.5 shoes: Nike Lunar +2s

British Sprint qualifiers. Men's Open B. Cool, cloudy. Started very late (due to late train) and a couple of small (but big for a sprint - 20s) mistakes. Thankfully my start time got adjusted.

3 PM

Orienteering race (Sprint Race) 14:49 [5] *** 2.3 km (6:27 / km) +20m 6:10 / km
shoes: Nike Lunar +2s

BSC Finals. Men's Open B Final. Cool, but sun came out. Almost fault-free, very enjoyable.

7 PM

Cycling 14:32 [2] 5.06 km (2:52 / km)

In York. Very impressed with the cycle paths/provision here - much better than London or indeed anywhere else in England outside of Oxbridge.

Cycle Commuting (In to Work) 26:48 [2] 9.11 km (2:57 / km)

7 PM

Cycle Commuting (Back Home) 25:05 [2] 8.79 km (2:51 / km)

Felt a bit weaker than normal - hmm.

8 PM

Cycling (Old to New to Old) 37:02 [4] 15.24 km (2:26 / km)

Out in 20 back in 17. Far too much fun bombing down MM at 20mph. Amazing what a bit of chocolate can do.

6 PM

Cycling (To/from Event) 38:14 [2] 12.83 km (2:59 / km)

To Kentish Town and then later home.

7 PM

Score Orienteering (Street-O) 59:31 [3] *** 11.4 km (5:13 / km)
slept:5.5 weight:67.9kg shoes: Nike Lunar +2s

LOK Kentish Town. Once again poor strategy let me down - went north, so when I finally came down to Primrose Hill, didn't have enough time to pick up the points there. So got beaten by Vince by 10 points, even though he ran at least a kilometre less. Also beaten by hfgnr, FRBlackSheep and substantially by paul_c who destroyed the course.

Some good planning too, some considerable thought needed to execute some legs, and got hopefully lost (first for a Street-O?) in a complicated estate that had a big circle in it - forgot to count the exits out of the circle. A good two minute mistake here.

11 PM

Note

1h45 - Carto: Stratford City. First draft sent off to the organiser! Yay! The two smallest levels are only done in outline, but good enough for a first walkthrough.

I've also provisionally planned 30 control locations - of note, 17 of these are outside. Competitors will probably find they spend the majority of their time outdoors. This is mor than just "shopping centre" orienteering!
