Orienteering race 1:08:50 [3] 7.7 km (8:56 / km)
Southern Night Champs - Short Brown
Started off very steadily and had a few light problems and kept on having to stop to reconnect light to battery!! Lost time on first 3 controls due to above.....
Came out of 3 slightly wrong and almost crossed wrong road!! then into 4 found a small unmarked path that had a couple of depressions on left just like the mapped one I thought I was on... went in from here but could not find conrtrol so went back out and tried again, this time getting right path and straight into control....
Changed lamp on way to 5...
Caught by Mark Bown and Geoff Ellis at 6 and we all messed up 7... I thought they seemed to be going high, but didn't do my own thing!!
Got a bit of a tow as far as 12
16 seemed to be further from semi open than it shows on map
Slow into 17 and then caught in some crap trying to get to 18
Rubbish route to 19 and faffed about a bit at 21 and confused by paths coming out of 22 (should just have gone on bearing)
3rd M40 - reasonably happy as night not my thing
calf started hurting on way to 24

Running 38:08 [3] 7.24 km (5:16 / km) +131m 4:50 / km
shoes: Brooks Pure Grit
Disappointing turn out for intervals tonight, just me and Tim Longley
On one hand though these may not have been a bad thing as I'd had a headache all day and was feeling bunged up running
We decided to just go for a run, and threw in a few efforts including a couple of hills near uni halls, so I guess it was a mini fartlek session

Orienteering race 1:39:44 [4] 9.5 km (10:30 / km) +190m 9:33 / km
Eyam Moor and Bretton Clough.....
Rubbish run again!
1 - went above crag and had to drop back down
2 - overshot slightly
3 - bearing too far south but realised when saw shooting butts
4 - ended up at 5 instead of 4 (as did Ben!) prob 4-5 min loss here
7 - overshot by miles and must have ran within 2m of flag...
9 - went in from wrong path bend
13 - too far left
13-14 rubbish routechoice and then dropped too low on fence. Took s. crossing point to 14... deep heather at start made it slow....
Enjoyed the clough section... bit hesitant on 20... and stupidly went to wrong wall at 25
Running well but need to work on technique over winter!!
