Orienteering race 36:19 [4] 5.0 km (7:16 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talon 212 Black
IOC Middle - Barnesmore Wind Farm - M50 - 4.5Km 160m
Poorly planned - far easier than it should have been with controls often visible from a long way away. First control visible from the start - just straight up the hill.
Terrain very slow and wet. Never felt much like a race and very difficult to tell how well it was going. Clean run apart from some time lost on 2 which was too high and consequently being too high approaching 3.

Orienteering race 10:59 [5] 3.0 km (3:40 / km)
shoes: Nike Pegasus 33 Blue
IOC Sprint - M50 - Sligo
Very simple course so absolutely flat out the whole way. Painful. Heart problem kicked in just after finishing and lasted for 5-10 minutes. 8 seconds down on Dirk Goosens but could only have made up about 6 of those!

Running 50:58 [3] 10.0 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Nike Pegasus 33 Blue
Longest version of the HB - Forge Dam - Bingham Park Loop (i.e. the path up the spur from Forge Dam).
Feeling average. Conditions not great - a lot of rain overnight left all non-tarmac surfaces very slippery so had to go quite slowly at times.

Running 1:27:20 [3] 14.0 km (6:14 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talon 212 Black
The Dark Peak loop from Cutthroat Bridge. Up and over the ridge and down to the reservoir. Then up the track to ..., straight across to Lost Lad, Back Tor and back.
One of those days when I hardly notice I'm running. Felt good all the way, though was a bit slow over some of the flagstones. Great being out there - didn't see anyone the whole way.

Orienteering race 58:22 [3] 10.0 km (5:50 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-talon 212 Black
SYO event - West Haigh - Brown -8.9Km 175m
The previously mapped bit was as nice as I remember it but more than half the course was in less interesting regenerating woodland. Enjoyable enough though.
Unfortunately my race was tarnished by the aftereffects of last night. Curry repeating on me and had to slow down fairly regularly. Finally got going in the last 15 minutes. Lost a minute or two through not being careful enough.
