Running warm up/down 17:07 2.37 km (7:13 / km) +60m 6:25 / km
ahr:131 max:166 shoes: VJ Integrator 2017 dobs
Jog to the start, including an excruciating long 'walk past the horses' section. The horses were totally chill about the whole thing, far more so than those of us who were worrying about being late to their starts... TRIMP 24.2
NB I forgot to bring my chest HR strap along this weekend, so the HR readings are all from my wrist, and are laughably inaccurate.

O: BOC Balmoral. M45L. Great apart from never finding #4...
I was looking forward to this. Nice and steady start, nailing 1, 2 and 3. And then #4. Oh dear. After 20 minutes crawling up and down the boulder field, I decided that I really had rather better things to do, and had paid good money to go for a run, not a stand about. All hope of a decent result had already gone. After that, normal service resumed, I nailed #5, and was steady away until I missed the ruined wall I was looking for on the long leg to #11, and dumped another 4, maybe 5 minutes. But I'd have been OK with that if that was just my one big error. My legs got a bit sluggish towards the end - dehydration, mainly.
Afterwards, on reflection, I'd enjoyed my run, despite the disappointment of posting an mp. Turns out I was far from alone in struggling with that control, but at least everyone else did eventually find it. Ho hum. TRIMP 227.2.
