Oh man ... paying the price for running when sick at the weekend ...

BOC relays with Ali and Ross. First leg on M-short. Very fun wee area and perfect for a relay. A pretty decent run except for one wobble at 6 (could see the control but couldn't make the contours fit). Took the river route to 1, which I think was best, but not many went that way so it felt quiet from the start. Still a bit off 100% speed with the cold, but pretty impressed by the leading time of 21 mins for 4.4 km!

Event: British Orienteering Championships (UKOL) / Relay Championships
 

British long champs, Balmoral. M50L 8.3 km. Was really looking forward to this as don't get out much these days! So to go down with a stinking cold the day before was really frustrating. Not even sure I should have run, but toughed it out. It's been a while, so screwed up 1, in an area I've struggled with before, then not in the map scale at all for a few controls. Really enjoyed some lovely forest, and a great course, but the body was unwilling. Given that, not unhappy with being 16 mins down.

Jog to start.
