6 PM
Running 15:00 [3] 1.9 mi (7:54 / mi)
Down to Burley with Matt, who still stubbonly refuses to join in the street O fun even when it is on his doorstep
7 PM
Urban Orienteering 44:40 [5] 6.2 mi (7:12 / mi) +20m 7:08 / mi
Burley in Wharfedale Street O - 1st, 240pts
Didn't take the best route, missed an easy control on each map, which in turn might have allowed me to get one more on top.
Pace wise didn't go with the breakneck speed set by others at the start, then had Tom company until 15 mins when he made the strange choice to go beyond the station. Had to ramp up the pace substantially in the last 6/7 mins to get done what I wanted to.
Good turnout, shame its the last one.

Urban Orienteering 1:15:06 [3] 11.0 mi (6:50 / mi) +50m 6:44 / mi
MDOC High Lane - 1st
Cleared the first map in 37 mins, then got all but 5 on the second map, 4 of which I would have been made to go for really anyway, so job done. Legs alright, could have gone a bit faster, but was flying by the end to get back in time, despite the incessant hail which meant I could hardly read the map. I liked the area.

Running 51:20 [3] 7.0 mi (7:20 / mi) +50m 7:10 / mi
To Horsforth with Dave for Poker.
Delayed fatigue from Saturday, legs aching badly.
Lucky I didn't do more than an hour yday, hangovers have their uses.
Also lucky the wind was behind and the last 2 miles were downhill.

Running 1:00:20 [3] 8.0 mi (7:32 / mi) +75m 7:20 / mi
Predictable hangover, dizzly shuffle, legs not too bad, unless the gradient was up, when legs were very bad. Otley loop extended version.

2016 Northern XC Champs, Witton Park, 121st
2006 Northern XC Champs, Witton Park, 121st
There's progress for you.
Felt like I ran better last year when I came 149th.
Hilly courses certainly suit me, (incredibly) muddy ones don't.
Not often you get one without the other, and today wasn't one of those.
9th LCAC, which from a team perspective, is a worry.
