Running warm up/down 9:00 [2] 0.8 mi (11:15 / mi)
Running race 17:57 [5] 3.1 mi (5:47 / mi) +50m 5:31 / mi
Absolute garbage
Felt fine until halfway, then some guy flew past me, lost my head then my legs. Nearly stopped which is something I never consider.
Had no fight in me to hold onto 2nd, not that I think I could have done anyway. Awful
Pace judgement terrible lately, or there is something physically wrong somewhere.

Running warm up/down 13:56 [3] 1.7 mi (8:12 / mi) +65m 7:20 / mi
Urban Orienteering race 24:10 [4] 2.8 mi (8:38 / mi) +110m 7:42 / mi
Good area, reminiscent of Holt Park in places, but with added (steep!) hills. Hot and legs weren't up to much so just tried to concentrate on navigation.
Lost some time at #3 while I checked I was in the right place despite no flag, then man came out of house to tell me he had removed it, he agreed to put it back.
All went well to #13 when spiral entrance to control completely threw me on way out and had to stop for a fair while to reidentify where I was.
Couple of sub optimal routes after that and the brutal hill at the end finished me off.
All good fun.
Urban Orienteering race 21:10 [3] 2.4 mi (8:49 / mi) +110m 7:43 / mi
Decided had enough time to trot round, which was all I could manage really.
Leg 2 was similar to late leg on course 1, funny how you go a different way if approaching from a different direction!
Then went straight from 2-4, miscounted alleyways, so that cost a bit of time, and small errors on a couple of others despite not running fast. Enjoyable.
Running warm up/down 7:45 [3] 1.1 mi (7:03 / mi)

Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 1.8 mi (8:20 / mi) +20m 8:03 / mi
Running race 15:15 [5] 2.75 mi (5:33 / mi) +30m 5:22 / mi
Not sure what to make of this.
It was certainly hard.
And last time I ran this I did 15:58 (has the course changed, did it used to go up the steps? I seem to remember going straight on at the bottom of the steepest hill/boggy bit? But seems not as course record is dated 2006. And conditions were good)
But I looked at the people ahead of me and thought I should have been further forward, and felt tired in places.(very difficult going in/out of shade) so certainly think I could have gone faster.
Who knows? Still struggling with breathing, have got stronger inhaler to start using now.
At least I gave Oz and Walshy something to go at, which they did with aplomb, nice to win something in a team.

Running 1:06:00 [4] 9.9 mi (6:40 / mi) +30m 6:36 / mi
Roasting.
Nice and flat, soon found myself ticking along nicely.
Quite a good run but was happy to stop and get a drink by the end.
