7 PM
Running race 16:32 [5] 3.1 mi (5:20 / mi)
Sunderland 5k - 42nd (!!) 16.32
Complete rubbish.
Quick (i.e. downhill) course, great field, legs didn't turn up.
Much like Esholt a couple of months back, just didn't feel right from the off, top speed felt heavy and hard work. Got to halfway in 8.02 but that included downhill section. Got to 3k and was treading water. Felt a little better last k and didn't lose too much more ground but should have been moving for home instead of just trying not to slow down too much.
Very demoralising, esp when I see what other people ran.

Urban Orienteering race 30:04 [5] 4.45 mi (6:45 / mi) +20m 6:40 / mi
Killingworth Urban - 1st, 30.04
Superb area, and a really well organised event, good to see.
With no blank map in the start lane, took about 10s to work out where I was, but route to #1 was quick to work out.
Messed up #2 as cut across car park but took dead end to west rather than planned path in the middle.
Took a northern route #3-#4 but came across uncrossable wall bordering field with no gap to OOB road at top of it, so had to turn around and go S. As I punched and turned back same way, some people were going way I would have gone, suspect there was a pavement and mapping error, but map as it stood clearly illegal route.
By now realising had to drop pace a bit to stay in control of where I was, was stood a while right on approach to #6 as had lost track of where I was.
Also had a hesistancy on way to #8
To both #9 and #10 had assumed there was a direct route when there wasn't but to be fair managed to quickly adjust and execute right route. Almost veered right of buildings next to #11 but realised just in time.
Second half of course minimal mistakes as now used to area, slight cock up #19 - #20 veered through houses instead of around on road but only cost maybe 10s.
Pleased with second half.
Whenever the next event here is, recommend you go!
