British Relays wiith Alan and Carol. Cragg and Chesterhope. 2nd leg on men's short, 4.1 km. Fast and furious, around some rough fields with mine tailings. Not super-inspiring orienteering, but good atmosphere for the relay. Made a 30 sec bobble on one control - just running way too hard to think.

Event: British Orienteering Championships
 

British Champs, M45L, 9.0 km. Thrunton Woods and Callaly. 8th in 92:48. Quite a warm/humid day and hard going through the terrain, so it was a tough one. Added to a late night drive last night, wasn't feeling too speedy. That said, only ended up 10 mins down and lost 6+ mins of that in the last half km. Got mixed up on MTB trails to 6 (2 mins), veered a bit right on 19 (3.5 mins) and confused by veg on 20 (3 mins). All a bit frustrating - should have run better than this. Well done to Ben. Well deserved!

Up Cruachan after work with Sam, Raeanne, Max and Mike. A bit of last-minute LAMM training! Passed Damon, Stephen and Lizzie on the way down. Fun evening.
