Orienteering race (British Sprint Champs Qua) 12:53 [5]
shoes: jalas o-shoes
Fun fun fun in the snow with lots of people running round all over the place. Felt like I had to punch a control every time I had a decision point (or even more often than that in some cases). Fluked the first one in the woods, but careful on the one after that. Other than that, dug in and made sure I got in the final with a good start.

Nice of them to let Scott have a guest run. Course was basically basic. Foolishly thought I could get through a building on 2-3, and so did Scott by the look of things, so that made no difference overall. It played on my mind for the rest of the race, but I ran pretty well from then on. Running didn't feel all that natural, but pushed hard and must've been going well. Just the right side of Oli again, law of averages says he will beat me next time by a few seconds. Scott ran a good race - we crossed over near the end, hammering it perpendicular to each other, neither gonna slow down, then about 1 metre before collision we both slow down and almost hit each other. Then I decided I would bash in a door unless it opened cos the map said it wasn't there. But it slowly opened for me. Then I skidded across an indoor marble floor in my studs. Emit's pretty gay really - people congratulating me on 2nd but not being able to be happy til download cos of all the controls I fumbled and didn't get the brick in.
Aaaaanyway, a sweet weekend for me, rounded off with a trip to Kenilworth Castle and a Maccas (and I won a free McChicken sandwich).
