Event: DFOK SE League event
O race (Forest O) 1:42:57 [4]
This could have been a good run. The good things to take out of this was my running was a strong as it's been for a while and I cycled there and back as well. When I got into the run, my navigation was good as well.
To #1, I didn't clock the path fork on the map or on the ground. Was lucky to find the control, only because I saw other people go to it. No map contact. Lost 3 mins.
Made a parallel error leaving #6. Was unfortunate that the path junctions and distances were similar on the 2 paths. When I didn't find the control where I expected it, I pushed on. I quickly lost map contact and ran a long way round before anything made sense again. Huge loss of 14mins. Learning points are to check with Mr Compass when I'm in an area of lots of similar paths. And make sure the path junction is the one I expect when I'm exiting a green area.
After that, a good solid run.

O race (Forest) 59:17 [4]
BAOC - Hankley Common - Blue
Felt terrible on Tuesday evening cycling to the Street-O, so decided to skip it and concentrate on this event instead.
50+km cycling both ways to get there so decided to do the Blue. Probably the right decision as I was starting to fade a bit by the last couple of controls. Would have struggled to get round the Brown and struggled even more to cycle home!
Pleased with the run. Bearings and pace counting mostly good. Just a little off on #2 and #3, but only 10s or so hunting in the circle.
Was pleased with how I executed #15. I wanted to use the contours to lead me up into it. And it worked well. I hit it spot on. It looks like a more direct route was quicker though. I probably lost a minute.
