Warm up/down 5:00 [1]
A bit token - through the assembly field and back just before starting.
Orienteering 43:00 [4] 4.8 km (8:57 / km) +190m 7:29 / km
shoes: 2013 VJ Supra
British Middle Champs - Stanton Moor
Another disappointing run with a stupid 3.5 minute mistake on an early control.
The more I look at the map, the more I spot the now blatantly obvious routes...
Winsplits says errors as follows:
3 - 1'
4 - 3'30"
8 - 1'
9 - 45"
and I'll add
2 - 15"
10 - 30"
14 - 15"
22 - 5-10"
with plenty of other hesitations/bad routes. Pretty useless all round.

Orienteering 6:00 [1]
shoes: 2013 VJ Supra
Easy jog out and back to the pre-warning to swap out the radio control.
Note
At the moment I think I'm trying to run too hard. My fitness is better this year than in the last couple of years, but I'm not able to maintain the pace I think should correspond to that level.
This means the navigation is taking a back seat, and the thought process is often rushed/non-existent. I've been getting away with it on the easier/easily simplified controls, but as soon as it gets tricky it's hit or miss...

Orienteering 16:45 [5] 2.8 km (5:59 / km) +40m 5:35 / km
shoes: Asics 1120
Sprint Quali - Loughborough.
Orienteering 13:30 [5] *** 2.0 km (6:45 / km) +30m 6:17 / km
shoes: Asics 1120
Sprint Final - Men's Open C.
Another run that was blemished by a silly mistake - 25 seconds lost by running past a control, as didn't think it was mine... If I was doing things in the order I should be, that wouldn't be happening.

Orienteering 15:00 [1]
shoes: Asics 1120
Aborted jog out to remove radio controls, as competitors still out in the area. Then a second, successful attempt. All made sense at an easier pace, even on a 1:5000 map.

(rest day)
Work/travel day.
North Downs/Box Hill looking very picturesque - now the grass has a bit more colour to it, there's a pleasing contrast between that, the still-bare trees and the blue sky. Tempted to go exploring next week.
