Orienteering 31:53 [4] 6.0 km (5:19 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 2012
Assumed it would be really simple - it was, but that assumption plus headtorches everywhere when near the circle plus multiple unmapped paths together were enough to make me v scrappy early on through the first four. Had a crashing fall on the way to #6 and then missed that too, gave myself a bit of a talking to after that and started to use compass and orienteer properly.
Okay after that and feeling good running. Turns out the guy in the red o-top who ran past me v easily early on was Simonas Krepsta, no shame in not keeping up with him! He ran 28:20.
As ever with these events then based from a pub with great food and beer, missed the start of the pub quiz unfortunately....

Orienteering race 23:31 [4] 3.5 km (6:43 / km) +165m 5:26 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 2012
Robin Galloway 22:18, Martin 22:39, Jase 22:40.
Physical course, not great weather (ran in cagoule). Not feeling too powerful on the hills. Probably not the best route to the penultimate either.
Orienteering race 19:17 [5] 3.8 km (5:04 / km) +40m 4:49 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost5 Aug 2012
V enjoyable and intense, could see Patrick behind from #3 and he was past when I hesitated then got confused at #7. More confusion at #9 (circle obscuring dead end) and #10 ('shed' was attached to the next building) but was right on his heels at #12.
Then got v confused when he punched a different control from me at #13, was shouting to tell him that he had mis-punched.....he carried on but then seemed to double back so I thought the head-to-head was over. Slowed up a bit until Graeme suddenly appeared behind me with two to go and I had to leg it again.
But...it turns out that the chase involved parallel courses rather than all doing the same and so the race with Patrick would still have been on (in the end he finished 18secs ahead). Very strange. Might have been nice to know that in advance! Although tbh not at all sure I could have caught him anyway!

Orienteering race 37:21 [5] 7.85 km (4:46 / km) +92m 4:30 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost5 Aug 2012
Another fun race, lost time at #9 because of the extra unmapped passageway (-40s, although I was hardly alone losing time here), and at the end where I tried to run the last little loop in the wrong order and went to #24 before #23 (-45s).
Winner Mark Wood was 50secs ahead, then 1sec ahead was Dave Robertson who took three seconds off me on the (short) run in....
Martin W should have won by a minute but ran past #25 without punching it.
