Watergrove parkrun - 1st, 18:52
Had been warned this was one for the fellrunners, and it was, sort of, though I can cope with the hills when they are trail or cobbles like this was and there was only two short sections that were really steep, the rest was runnable enough, though the majority of the cobbled section required care as very uneven.
Halifax next week to maintain my regionaire status.
Then Wetherby.

Event: MDOC Night Street League (9)
6 PM
Running warm up/down 10:30 [2] 1.3 mi (8:05 / mi)
Urban Orienteering race 58:35 [5] 8.7 mi (6:44 / mi) +10m 6:43 / mi
MDOC Street League Final, Sale West
11th on handicap, 1st gross
Set off on the clear to follow loop in the NE so could plan ahead for the tricky estate on the W side. Then noticed the pleathora, i.e. 9/10ths, of the 4x and 5x codes in the south section of the map. So realised I had to get down there as quickly and efficently as possible whilst not missing any controls. This I managed despite running down a couple of dead ends in the estate itself. Swept round the south side and got a couple of bonuses in having picked up the pace last 15 mins. Thought despite my minor panic route had worked well.
It was only when the results came out I remembered that all controls were worth 10 for this one!!!
Which was a shame as I thought it was an interesting planning concept in fact, could have caught a few people out. Worked out even better for me as given my performance in the complex bit if I hadn't have had to miss a few in there would have done worse.

CLARO Knaresborough streets, 1st.
Kept pace around 6:20-6:30
Misread map to first one, as did many others.
Map was then wrong so ran down a dead end
Then made a big mistake trying to cut through an alley, went down 2 dead ends instead of correct path.
So had to speed up a bit at the end.
