orienteering race 1:21:37 [4] 9.6 km (8:30 / km)
BAOC event at Hankley Common. This is argueably the nicest army orienteering area from the runnability aspect. Vegetation free woods, low heather, sandy paths - really fun to run in. Its also one of the furthest. Despite which I was keen to go and despite my lingering cold I went. But I did compromise by wearing an additional layer and deliberately not being aggressive and keeping heart beat low. (Also minimised the warm up) Started weakly but breathing and running generally improved as the race went on. Only really screwed up no 17 partly because I was looking for the wrong feature in a complex area -otherwise reasonably clean (Easy course?)
Good day out
