Urban Orienteering race 52:59 [4] 7.2 mi (7:22 / mi) +60m 7:10 / mi
Loughborough (North) Urban - 6th
Shouldn't have done this either, but again told myself to run within myself, which pace wise, I certainly did, but it didn't feel great, considered stopping a couple of times. Warm conditions didn't help. Strangely felt great within about 5 minutes of finishing.
Course wise, got to #15 of 30 outside 30 mins and thought I might struggle to break the hour but the sprinty section in the school ensure I did. Good to have a longer course, and nav was fine except for silly 100sec error to #11, hit open space and veered right instead left, then convinced myself the map was wrong and I was right which was quite stupid, had to back track into the field.
Some of the later splits seem strangely long even given the pace I was running at, but hey ho.
Would have be interesting for the win had I been able to go full pelt.
Another day off tomorrow it is then. Grrrrrr.
