Orienteering race (sw gallopen godshill NF ) 1:07:45 [4] ** 12.63 km (5:22 / km) +180m 5:00 / km
spiked:20/24c (injured) shoes: Inov8 oroc 280 (old)
wimborne gallopen at godshill and millersford new forest
ran brown as it was the appropriate distance for the November classic.
started 3 mins behind jack because he said he trained on the area so i didnt want him to catch me up as i wanted to concentrate on my own run . started well very easy for the first 2 controls as you could see where abouts the controls were across the moor. lost a bit of time on 4 as it was a distinctive tree and there were loads of trees and i ran to far up the hill looking for a distinctive one but they had just but the control on a random tree ( + 1 min ) ran well through to 10 felt pretty strong through the heather . not much navigation needed here. saw jack about a min ahead at this point and pushed hard up the long hilly leg to 12 to catch him .caught him at 13 just after entering the forest he backed off a bit and let me lead to 14 but i took the wrong path as i had lost concentration and started heading up a long hill didnt realise to about 400m up it and then cut across through a load of green bushes to get back on track ( + 2 mins ) ran hard to 16 to try and close the gap back up but lost a bit of time on 16 by coming out to east (+ 30 secs ) ran hard to 18 and saw jack leaving the control but got confused to where it was and lost ( + 1 min ) by getting the dried out stream confused with the earthwall . pushed hard to the finish .
came 1st :D , a minute ahead of jack :D felt pretty good for the distance and felt like i was running well . achillies hurt most of the way round but didnt stop because i was having a good run. going to take 3 days of running.
