Orienteering 44:00 [5] 7.5 km (5:52 / km)
SHI Relay.
Had no plans of running this and was hobbling around watching. Had said I would only put on kit if another team mp'ed, and when Dan managed first leg cleanly I thought no need for me, relaxed and had my lunch. Then about 30mims later. Doug arrived simultaneously at the finish (as a mp) as Jamie came through the spectator on second leg as now first placed Scottish team with our other Scottish team not in sight and a good few English teams around. Oh no - now I had to run. Then in the next 15mins the mixture of adreniline/paracetomol/ibprofen got me to the start line in kit.
Then for the next 44mins I just gritted my teeth and tried to run. Pain was bearable in the terrain where it was soft and I could heel strike, on the paths and running fast on the ball of my foot was not great.
Chasing gg for a third of the course was great to get into it and give something to think about other than sore stuff. Then he missed and I just tried to keep going. When he caught me again i just had no extra gear, disappointing, but just enough to let the team retain their title.
Much happier that I actually read the map and was running at a speed I could navigate today.
Doug owes me a pint and I owe Dan some more respect (history should have taught me Doug was the real liability :P}
