BEOC Middle, Strensall Common, 6.6km, 0m. Started badly when I couldn't find the start on the map and thereafter ended up on the wrong path, so lost 30 seconds on the first leg. Clean orienteering after that but a dropped several seconds on a multitude of occasions when I was with 10-20m of a control but couldn't see it - I know the area was open and visible but was it really necessary to hang the controls on the ground behind an obstacle? Also had a bit of difficulty identifying small paths in the terrain and simply never found the indistinct ones, enjoyed it very much though and it was a novelty to be tired from just running rather than going up and down hills (crossing two fences was the biggest amount of climb).
Beaten by Boyzone (for the first time?) but ahead of the other Irish, though on comparing splits there wasn't much between us in running speed, so happy enough with that as it was a faster area than is to my liking. Good run from OJ to take yet another title.

Event: British Sprint Championships
11 AM
Run - Trail 32:01 [2] 6.89 km (4:39 / km) +2m 4:38 / km
shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR3
As I wasn't running in the BEOC Sprint I went for a run from the university, started with Johnny-joe and Boyzone (on their warm down) and did a loop of the golf course. Pleasant running but the lack of hills reduces the interest some what.
Great run from Boyzone to get into the A final and an even better run from Shminty to win it. idn't feel like I was missing out by not running though.

Note
(rest day)
Was thinking of an evening run when I got to the York area but hunger ruled that option out!

Mapping 45:00 [0]
A wonderfully sunny morning out in Aberfoyle (4.45), but couldn't see much of it in the deep, dark forest. Unfortunately got bounded in by clear fell sooner than I had hoped so not much more to add to the map now.
6 PM
Climbing 45:00 [1]
An introductory session to top rope climbing at Ratho with a bunch of FVOers. Very thorough so not all that much time spent climbing, but that was grand as my arms and fingers weren't up do doing more anyway. It's fun going higher than bouldering but you don't half have to spent a lot of time hanging around and waiting for your partner. Fun, but think I'll stick with the lower stuff.

Last bit of tidying up on Sauchie; had to check the area below the southern crags as they've thinned it but left everything on the ground, a right mess in what was a nice bit of wood. Also patches of windblow but will leave that to see if they doing anything with it.

Run - Orienteering 29:01 4.45 km (6:31 / km) +122m 5:44 / km

FVO Night O, Bantaskine. Epic fail! Didn't warm up as was trying to get the headlight to work. Couldn't, but headed off anyway in the hope that it would behave. It didn't, so had to cut the course short as soon as it was too dark to actually read the map. Did do an extra loop on the tracks but didn't get much of a session in. Shame, as it was a nice wee area and my legs were feeling like a bit of a stretch. By far from the first BikeLight that I have heard suffering a similar malfunction, not much more than a year old either.

Not really a training run as I spent as much time stationary as I did running (was out 95 minutes), was fun and interesting though; took out a bit of map that I've added to the Dunblane/Bridge of Allan map around the Gathering Stone and went exploring. Found quite a few small trails and some nice bits of woods that I haven't been in before. More to do though.
