Peckham Rye - Splits

O on Whiteford Burrows in The Gower. Course was set in sand dunes next to the beach with small patches of open forest. Very similar to Pittwater Dunes. Some dunes needed to crawl on all fours as it was so steep. Ran really well except for about 2 minutes on no.2 and no real mistakes for the 22 controls after which is rare for me. Finished 3rd about 5 minutes behind winner. Had to make a quick getaway to drive 2 hours to Bristol for Rat Race.

In Bristol with Amy in Mixed Pairs. Started in Castle Park and ran to Bull Wharf, Banana Bridge on the A370 where another team had to lift me to the CP coz Amy couldn't do it on her own, Paintworks about 2km away, then up the steepest residential street in the UK. We then did a 1.6km orienteering course at Victoria Park and then a short kayak in the Floating Harbour. After that was a run to Millennium Square and up to Calbot Tower, Christmas Steps, St.James Barton Roundabout, spray painting on Stokes Croft, Mira Park, St.Agnes Park, St.Paul's Park, boxing back near the centre of town but then we had to skip the wall traverse coz the queues were too long. Last CP at the Galleries shopping centre to Finish. Finished 30th overall and 1st in the Mixed Category.
