Note
Collected some controls. Doing my bit for the greater good.
2 PM
O - Training 1:27:22 [5] *** 14.4 km (6:04 / km)
spiked:23/33c shoes: VJ Sexes
I am really pleased with the result. - Tough field - Full length Senior Classic - Terrain partially not my best type. I was also really pleased with how I felt physically, still felt quite strong at the end of the course. Jelly was a good idea.
However, I was disappointed with how I was technically. My plan was to run the race like a 60 minute race and then just to try and hold on over the last section. I started with the right speed but I was too focused on it and failed to concentrate on actually navigating properly and picking the correct routes and appropriate details.
Yes having Doug there with me on the course helped me to maintain the speed (and probably the other way as well) but I think he still would have won if we hadn't been together. From looking at the splits it seems like quite a few people did at least run together for parts of the course. Maybe with the strength in depth of the Men's field butterflies are required.

ShUOC in the 2nd round of the knockout competition.
We got beat. There were moments of Barcelona quality possession football, unfortunately combined with defending that was even worse than Arsenal

More "Orienteering" than Orienteering in that I did have a map in my hand and was looking for controls but I was being so monumentally lazy that I'm not sure it really counts. Oh well - I'm sure the British won't be anything like this...
