Training Log Archive: Ifor

British Relays M50 second leg taking over in 2nd from Phil just a few seconds down. Good steady run called for but I messed it up. Round path for 1. did not see small path on ground into 2 but ok reversed back out for simple path run to 3. 4 ok 5 around longer simple path route to right for 5. Back out to path I had come in on towards 6 but somehow thought I was too far up the hill on crossing the MTB track headed down but that was clearly not right as I hit major path after too far. Along this a bit looking for break in brambles and back up for a pit no flag see another pit close no flag again go to path in site but not sure which direction to head and pick wrong only on looking in next pit did I work out I was back close to 5 again and get my act together. probably 2.30 lost. 7 run around path making 8 a dog log but still manage to loose 30s on 8 having virtually seen it. 9, 10, 11 ok feeling tired up the hill for 12 then managed to end up 1 bridge south of where I thought but fortunately paths not matching at all so worked it out 30s?

Came in 3rd but 2.5 - 3 minutes off SYO and TVOC. Clive managed to real in Roger for 2nd but I needed to send him out with Tim to make it a real race and had I just been clean I probably would of. Annoying.

Event: British Orienteering Championships
 

9.321km with 262m climb in 59:00. British champs M50. Pushing on from the off as course looked short. A few technical ones to start then relatively simple. Running better than lately but not fast enough really. Just contouring finding the best line for most of it. Loosing time with the climb back up. Slightly off line for 15 but nice obvious control to relocate off only 15 seconds lost.

Reasonable run 14th would of been 8th if I could of been a minute quicker. 1 second behind Al!! Long way off James of course. All the Powells fiinished which was good as first til=me all running in a long time. Mum beat dad by 13 seconds.

I was 2nd after the 5 more technical controls then lost a minute to James just on the uphill run to 6 and heading backwards from there. James had fastest splits at all but 16 where he lost 7 seconds and the run in where he lost 5. Al overhauled me down the slope at the end.
