Run 12:30 [2] 2.02 km (6:11 / km) +30m 5:46 / km
shoes: Mudroc 290s
Easyish jog to the start with Purky, other than the enforced walk by a mad horse lady
Orienteering 2:40:04 [2] 17.19 km (9:19 / km) +600m 7:56 / km
British Orienteering Championships - Balmoral Estate
Really got my value for money from this, it was a bit of an ordeal. Also I was orienteering like an idiot and really not moving very fast.
Blew 5 minutes to 1, so Purky was instantly past up the hill, then missed 4, and 5 despite Calum pointing where it was. Map seemed really crap in there, but maybe I was just twatting about a bit much. The return to that area for 9 went just as badly.
Rest of the course went better, if slower. Just having my jelly babies every 15 minutes and staggering around some controls, but no major time loss.
Apart from feeling a bit exhausted and unfit, I was pretty alright! Forest was very pretty, and the weather was excellent, good stuff.
Ps, Not having water in the area was utterly ridiculous, and could've been pretty dangerous.
