Event: British Long Champs
Orienteering race 1:11:59 [5] ***** 11.3 km (6:22 / km) +270m 5:41 / km
shoes: New Balance X Terrain
British Champs at Culbin
Great area. Legs felt really heavy for first few k and was feeling a bit tired. Lost about 4 minutes in total, witn about a minute in the green area at the end.
Caught Mike up at 14. Didn't feel like I was runnign any faster with him than I was before. He'd get ahead but then I'd catch him up near the control, as though he was waiting for me to lead him into it, which I did.
Stood on a branch funny going to 16 which my ankle really didn't like and after a bit of limping carried on. Eventually the pain subsided after a few controls.
Almost lost it at 22. Was following a bearing round the side of the hill, dropped down and for some reason couldn't figure out where'd I'd gone. Eventually carried on along the bearing and ended up on top of a hill in some semi-open and worked out where I was. Didn't lose that much time but even so was annoyed to have lost concentration.
Lost Mike going along the path to 26 (he was ahead) Kept seeing him in the green. In my haste to get out of 27, I went slightly further right than i intended and wasted a bit of time relocating. Was also a bit too far right on 29.
Was about 4 mins behind hector, 2 behind doug, 1 behind rhodri.
Would have been good to get in top 3 but at least I'm getting closer.

Running 10:00 [3]
shoes: New Balance X Terrain
Was at the start with plenty of time which was probably another reason I had a good run.
