Northern Champs, Bigland.
M50L, 4th.
Tired legs today! Took a while to get moving properly. Caught by Clive (4mins) just after #7, about 40mins in. Despite my best efforts to chase, he cruised away rather easily...
Generally pretty steady on the nav (apart from the inevitable sloppy missing of at least one crossing point), until right near the end when I binned 3mins at #16 (of 18). Missed it to the right and couldn't possibly have missed it to the left, so who knows why I thought initially I should go and look even further right....
Clive won in 73:03, Charlie just under 76, Nigel Bunn was fastest on the splits to the final control and finish to overtake me for third. Steve B in 76:35 won M45 ahead of Jase (79:45).

British Nights, Great Tower.
M50L, 1st place :)
Expected a quality race with proper tricky orienteering and wasn't disappointed. Misty in places but not as bad for we later starters as it was earlier. Well pleased to run well enough to win!
Tried to learn my lesson from Darnaway last week and be more disciplined - generally successful but immediately punished with 2mins lost at #7 when I didn't have a proper plan or stop when I was uncertain. Managed to revert to more controlled thereafter, kept discipline and focus on my own nav even when Fanni and Zoe were around too through the final section.
First ahead of Martin W (73) and Dave R (74), well behind James L on M45L though (60mins). Just pipped Jase who ran 69mins for 3rd on M45.

Note
(rest day)
Thought about a tester jog pre British Nights weekend, but flight back from London was delayed so easily talked myself out of it. Always give the recovery one more day than you think you need...

Back at work and much improved. Still some way off 100% though.
