8 AM
Running 31:05 [3] 4.3 mi (7:14 / mi) +150m 6:31 / mi
Hilly, muddy run post wedding round Ashdown forest with Greenleaf Cole and Bareham. Wet again. Quite enjoyable, didn't do the full run with tonight in mind.
6 PM
Running warm up/down 9:00 [2] 1.0 mi (9:00 / mi)
7 PM
Orienteering 1:39:41 [4] 10.3 mi (9:41 / mi)
British Night Champs - M21L, 8th
Some of this was quite good, though local knowledge helped somewhat. Certainly improvment on what would previously have been possible.
Big mistakes were:
#7 - local knowledge didn't really help there as road is mapped incorrectly as turning SE at end when in reality the main branch continues NE to the railway. I didn't spot this and so my planned right turn off the road was actually me staying on the road. Stopped when I realised i wasn't where I thought and took me an age to relocate, v. frustrating.
#14 - went off in the wrong direction, got confused as to whether v. wet path was in fact stream. Lots of people milling about confused and I was actually first to find control after which they all piled in (4 mins)
#15 - old school mistake of going all round control not seeing it, relocating, repeat, head somewhere else in some confused attempt I was somewhere else before reverting to looking where it actually was. (4 mins)
#17 - got my east and west stupidly confused after finding feature easily, but was control circle correct? (1.5 mins)
#28 - tired decision to stick to paths, backfired (1.5 mins)
Probably a decent run behind the mistakes, most of which should have cost time but not as much as they did.
Thought the course was good, kept me on my toes and didn't seem as long as it was, some grumbling from the other courses I see, so makes a change for the longest course to be the best...!

Holgate and West park, Hob Moor. Legs not working at all.
7 PM
Urban Orienteering race 1:15:10 [4] 10.8 mi (6:58 / mi) +50m 6:52 / mi
SROC Longridge - 1st
Struggled with map scale and overshot early on.
Otherwise ok, went through a tired patch half way through but recovered
Faffed around with entrance to private road and adjoining cul-de-sacs
Went for a 30 and not a 50 at the end which was a bit stupid but a bonus all the same.
Wet evening.

Running 29:04 [3] 4.0 mi (7:16 / mi) +15m 7:11 / mi
River north and Holgate - very windy but legs felt good without trying
7 PM
Running 1:13:03 [3] 10.6 mi (6:53 / mi) +50m 6:48 / mi
Track - 7 x 3 minutes off 90
As seems to be the pattern lately, felt bad to begin with but at least quickly improved this time and the last 3 were good felt swift and hard. Only covering 900m (950 last one) but it was fairly windy and a solo effort for the most part with most people recovering from the national.

Hawksworth and Esholt loop.
Really couldn't be arsed but chance of a daylight loop couldn't be turned down, it was alright once I got out there, but it always is.

Running 33:00 [3] 4.3 mi (7:40 / mi)
This worked out well, jogged down to the park for Charlotte to do 8 x 1min down the gradual hill along the east side, I ran round and across the middle while she walked back, giving her about 2:10 recovery. Shame the weather was atroicious but one to repeat
