Event: JK 2006
Orienteering race 17:09 [5] * 3.24 km (5:18 / km)
16c shoes: 2005 Falcons
JK Sprint
After a couple of lovely days of sightseeing and relaxing with Kat in London, we arrived in Leeds with Paul Nixon of the South London club and Chris Wroe of OUOC, just in time to run the sprint course before the elite showcase began. With no warm-up, i started a bit slow, but picked up the pace pretty quickly. The terrain was pretty straightforward, and one of the major challenges was the myriad Trail-O controls with no punches on them surrounding the correct sprint controls. I ran a good race for the most part, but made a couple of stupid mistakes in a hedge maze towards the end, losing 40 seconds or so. I think I could have run a good bit faster with a proper warm-up, but I was still pretty happy with my time, good for 16th out of 200+ on the normal sprint, though quite a bit behind the elite runners, whose course was just a bit longer, but who also ran under actual race conditions, which I think makes a sizeable difference.
Kat was 2nd on the women's course, beating some of the elite times, as well!!!! All results are on http://www.jk2006.org.uk/

Orienteering 53:17 [2] 5.33 km (10:00 / km)

Cool-down plus jogging around the JK model event with Kat. Rather uninteresting terrain, with lots of brambles and thorny areas.
