Running warm up/down 8:30 [3] 1.0 mi (8:30 / mi)
Running race 18:16 [5] 3.1 mi (5:54 / mi) +30m 5:43 / mi
Nice course, but the wind was horrific for about 500m on each of the two laps, was blown to a standstill on both laps.
Didn't get the full benefit the other way either as was in the trees.
Enough moaning, I enjoyed it. Felt good.
Was 50m clear after 3 mins so whilst I felt I was pushing, lone leader syndrome probably came into play
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 1.7 mi (8:49 / mi) +30m 8:22 / mi
Orienteering 14:55 [4] 2.0 mi (7:27 / mi) +30m 7:08 / mi
Effectively a chasing start with the openness of the first few controls and I started at the back of a big queue of slower people.
Tried not to look at everyone else and just the map and went well, though simple enough really, just missed going over a bridge that would have saved a few metres. Cracking fun esp the sprinty bit at the end.
Running 8:00 [3] 1.0 mi (8:00 / mi) +10m 7:46 / mi
Running 17:00 [3] 2.0 mi (8:30 / mi) +20m 8:15 / mi
Running race 12:10 [5] 2.1 mi (5:48 / mi) +30m 5:33 / mi
Very windy, very muddy.
Struggled to get going, but once I did, felt alright, was quite strong by the end and reeled in all the fools who had shot past me at the start
Running warm up/down 8:50 [2] 1.0 mi (8:50 / mi)

Running 44:30 [3] 6.4 mi (6:57 / mi) +90m 6:40 / mi
Bumped into Oz in Menstonia as setting off so we ran down to Otley, weather got worse once I left him so went up a gear back home

Running 31:30 [3] 4.0 mi (7:53 / mi) +20m 7:45 / mi
Running warm up/down 8:30 [3] 1.0 mi (8:30 / mi)
Urban Orienteering 44:20 [4] 6.3 mi (7:02 / mi) +20m 6:58 / mi
Not flat out, not that my legs would have let me.
Navigated well under pressure from Jack
Managed to pick pace up once I realised clearing them all was possible...

Running 33:30 [3] 4.5 mi (7:27 / mi) +20m 7:21 / mi
Urban Orienteering race 1:14:50 [5] 11.0 mi (6:48 / mi) +50m 6:42 / mi
A bit of an odd one, this.
Apparently finally achieved the 11miles in 75 minutes, but whilst I thought I took a decent route in a tricky area, not the best route as was 10points behind Quentin, then turns out I lost 60pts (1 wrong? would be good to know really).
Legs never felt in trouble and never felt fast, sign of improving fitness but could have done more? But did change mind a few times en route. Always difficult to judge 75 until about 20 in anyway.
Running warm up/down 13:00 [2] 1.5 mi (8:40 / mi)

Running 30:30 [3] 4.5 mi (6:47 / mi) +10m 6:44 / mi
Miserably wet, luckily felt good, so didn't hang around
Running 50:30 [3] 7.3 mi (6:55 / mi) +100m 6:38 / mi

Running long 1:31:40 [3] 12.6 mi (7:17 / mi) +150m 7:01 / mi
Guiseley, Carlton Lane, top of Pool Bank, Danefield (zig zagged about) Birdcage Walk, Old Railway path
Felt reasonable and the time passed quickly, could have been a horrible run, so job done.
