Event: BAOC Military Challenge
Orienteering 2:18:30 [3] 16.5 km (8:24 / km) +575m 7:09 / km
shoes: 2011 VJ Supra
Black course on Mytchett and Ash Ranges.
Bit apprehensive as to how this would go, but set off steady and paced it quite well. Was thinking around 2h30 would be reasonable. Still running at the end, felt a bit of a struggle but only needed to walk the steeper hills. Really wet underfoot, most of the paths had turned to streams and the heath was saturated in many areas.
Few stupid mistakes thrown in, all but one I was initially on line/had the right thoughts but doubt crept in and initial plan was incorrectly abandoned (3, 7, 24, 32). Need to have a bit more confidence to go with the initial conviction. The one time I was off the intended route I was eating/drinking and not concentrating on where I should be going - and the veg boundaries at the end didn't quite make sense (31). Warped map threw me (and others) a bit on 25-26 (Ash Ranges).
Right ITB tightened up considerably after run, has eased off a bit now but will need to keep it stretched over the next few days.

Note
Work Christmas dinner, preceded by aimless cycling trying to work out how to get there. It'll now take a while to dry out...

Easy from the hotel, short loop around the woods. Felt pretty good.
