Run 14:22 [2] 1.96 km (7:20 / km) +20m 6:58 / km
To the start, with some drills and skills
Orienteering 2:11:49 [3] 21.8 km (6:03 / km) +217m 5:46 / km
Midland Champs, M21E
This run effectively splits neatly into two parts.
There was the first 65 minutes, where I was running and navigating well. Asides from slight bananas into 5 and 13, and potentially dubious routechoice to 16, it went pretty damn well.
Then there was the second 65 minutes, which admittedly should've been more like 40 mintues. Completely and utterly bonked, hard. In hindsight, I really should have taken some jelly babies with me, not sure why I attempted this without food.
Navigation was all over the place, some absolute howlers. I'm calling bullshit on 29 though, there was definitely an extra tree and pit in there.
Anyways, the first part was great, and I enjoyed myself immensely. Second part, not so much, but certainly some lessons in there. Namely take food on a 17.5km course, and do some more long runs.

British Night Championships
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately.
Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed.
At 22, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because that orienteering course gave me cancer anyway.
