Pippingford Park Black
Really tight and achy again. Started ok physically but just got slower and tighter as I went round. The last 5km or so were nothing more than a steady run. The first 2km was mostly orange standard but still missed at 4 (although this was the one trickier control (probably more TD4)) and 5 and a little dull. The last open section was also particularly uninteresting with very easy controls. Other than a 4 (~30s) and 5 (~15s), no mistakes to talk of. Need to sort this tightness out.

Easy morning jog. Not feeling spritely but better than I have been the last few days.

British Night Champs at Pippingford Park
3rd place behind Jegor and GG. Nearly headed off too far right down the earthwall to 1 but quickly realised when I checked my compass but then totally spannered no2. Should have just run straight on a bearing but tried to pick out features which was a mistake. Lost ~1:45. Clean for a few just running on bearings but then wandered on 7 and lost 30-40s and lost another 30s or so on 9 overshooting. Didn't pick a good line to the dam on 10 and ended crossing deep valleys which would have lost significant time and then wandered much too right before the control. After this I was generally pretty clean with a just the off wobble. Perhaps 5mins lost in total so no disaster. Running still not feeling good/right.
