Note
(injured)
Car parking duties at the middle.
Binned all thought of racing today, although my achilles seemed to have survived the sprints OK with only a little tenderness. No point in being daft. It was frustrating to be within earshot of the tannoy and wondering how I'd have got on, not having raced this woodland before.

Orienteering race (Brit Sprint heat H3.1) 21:17 [3] ** 3.74 km (5:41 / km) +55m 5:18 / km
ahr:151 max:166 spiked:13/15c (injured)
M50-1 Springfield estate. Nominal 3.5km
Trundled round, unsure of how my achilles would feel after 3 weeks off my feet. Made a bit of a hash of #1 (almost up to the control, hidden behind a low wooden wall, then looped round) and #2 (came out of #1 SE instead of S and confused myself about which road I came out on) and then stuck behind a slower runner in the alleyway to #3, so ducked out to the road. Got into it with no blunders after that. Comfortable enough and achilles not too bad although stiff. 16th/20 and straight into the C final

Orienteering race (Brit Sprint final M50C) 18:24 [4] ** 3.19 km (5:46 / km) +45m 5:23 / km
ahr:160 max:173 spiked:14/19c (injured)
M50C final Campbell Park, course F10. Nominal 2.5km
Achilles no worse than when I warmed up for the heat, although my legs weren't too happy about running again. Went for a bit of a harder/faster run (it's all relative though, I'm 6kg heavier than I was in April), but overran #6 (+20s), wrong approach for #8 (+15s), should've stayed high for #9 (+20s) and then caught out by taped off area for #10, doubling back (+40s). Straightforward, although slow, for the rest. 2nd/17th.

Spent my 10s holding the map working out where #1 was, and now trying to avoid everyone else off the start (679):
