Event: British Middle Champs (UKOL)
Terrain Orienteering race 15:00 [4] 2.0 km (7:30 / km)
British Middle Champs, M55. Retired. Could not believe this map and terrain were being used for a national championship. With knee struggling to cope with terrain, decided not to waste it on this dross. Walked back to the event arena,a walk that only confirmed the decision to retire. Awful.
Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 1.0 km (20:00 / km)

Urban Orienteering race 15:00 [4] 2.8 km (5:21 / km) +30m 5:05 / km
British Sprint Champs, M55 Heat 3, 1.9km, 4th/16 14:35 (Mark Saunders 13:31).
Steady, generally clean run - maybe 20 secs lost overall. Final and heat venues had been swapped round, and having the more technical area for the heats probably suited me given the total lack of background. Pleased with qualifying for A final - indeed pleased to be running at all.

Urban Orienteering race 13:00 [5] 3.0 km (4:20 / km) +35m 4:06 / km
British Sprint Champs, M55 A Final, 2.0km, 13th/18, 12:46 (Mark Saunders 11:01).
Very clean run bar one 5 second hesitation at #3, but then the course was even more simple than anticipated - extremely disappointingly so given the quality of some of the other courses seen later. In the circumstances, very pleased to be only 14 secs down on 8th. Good to run pain free after twitches in warm up.
