Urban Orienteering race 26:50 [5] 3.6 mi (7:27 / mi) +20m 7:20 / mi
Naivgationally spot on, and managed to draw something extra out of legs in the second half to round the weekend off nicely.

Running warm up/down 8:45 [2] 1.0 mi (8:45 / mi)
Running race 18:18 [4] 3.1 mi (5:54 / mi)
Went off which the intention of seeing if I could come first whilst not hammering it, which was a silly plan in hindsight, as though I was leading after 500m, the real leader then took over a pulled away. My brain told me to ease off completely at this point but I'd then become one of those people who goes off too quickly and dies, so I slowly, slowly, eased off the pace. Even then, felt like hard work.
Kudos to the guy doing it barefoot.
Running warm up/down 13:00 [3] 1.5 mi (8:40 / mi)
Urban Orienteering race 53:30 [5] 7.6 mi (7:02 / mi) +30m 6:57 / mi
Great area and course.
A few minor issues and missed the best route to #12.
The long legs were excellently tough.
Main issue was legs wouldn't go fast enough, again, need to accept this as I increase the mileage again.

Orienteering race 32:30 [4] 4.6 mi (7:04 / mi) +60m 6:47 / mi
Stressful pre race as trains late both into and out of London, then had some crazy uber driver who couldn't turn round in the station car park.
Nearly knocked it all on the head, but jumped out of taxi at 19.15 and legged it straight to start, where the kindly start team let me start straight away and looked after my bag.
Unsurprisingly felt drained, but got through the first 5 OK, before making a right horlicks of 6 by mistaking the first left turn round the lake for the second and faffing in the woods in completely the wrong place.
Eased off the pace after that, noticed a few people crossing the purple to #11, nearly had a word but couldn't be bothered.
Had to then speed up again a bit as was getting dark and reading the map was becoming an issue.
Didn't cope with the multi level 18-19 at all well, though even afterwards can't see how you are meant to know which level 19 was on, 18 perhaps though to me still unclear.
Great park, must come back and do the parkrun.
Running warm up/down 14:00 [2] 1.7 mi (8:14 / mi)

Running 29:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:15 / mi)
Running 1:03:02 [3] 8.6 mi (7:20 / mi) +140m 6:59 / mi
Another lovely evening. Ran a bit faster than I should have done really, especially at the end. But feeling fit.
