Event: British Sprint Championships
11 AM
Running warm up/down 1:20:00 [3] 8.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Lots of warming up and down after the various races. Did an extra long warm up with Alex before the B final to try and wake my legs up and get in the mood.
Orienteering race 14:30 [5]
Qualifier. I would be lying if I was to say that I was not up for this. However, adrenaline got the better of me at the start with a bit of a wobble on the way to number 1. Started to flow a bit better after this, until I caught up Rich Guillame and tried to race him rather than work out what I was doing. Stupid. And I know better. I made a big miss at 19? where I did not execute my plan properly and lost 40 seconds. Game over. Pushed on to the end but I was way down.
Full of "orienteering rage/frustration" at the finish; made mistake which were totally avoidable.

Orienteering race 13:30 [5]
B Final. Really enjoyed this but again I was not quick enough in my thinking. Lots of small misses and a couple of big wobbles. All of which resulted in me (deservedly) being well down the results.
You would have got good odds in respect of predicting the top 3. Great run from Chris but also a shame that OJ missed out on the elusive title. A good day of racing.
