1 lap of the track to warm up
1 slow lap to warm down

Only 3 of us doing running, the rest of them were doing long jump
did 800m timed 3:21
Then did a 400m time trial against each other 1:25
then 100m sprint against each other 15.6 (not vey good at all)
then 2 of us went round the track as many times as we could and got 2 laps (800m) ~ 3:40
was really hard near the end of all the laps because the wind was against you coming round the corner onto the home straight, you felt really good before then and you would get knackered on that stretch so that you could sprint to the finish

Lyme Park introductory event that i planned, so i put some controls out
Walked around most of it, its really hard to keep your balance with the new taller stakes with the SI boxes on top sticking out of your rucksack

Ran Light Green, even though i planned it i didnt realise how much climb there was, and it was all in 2 short steep bits.
Control 4 was in the wrong place (Blame my Dad), so i spent 2-3 minutes looking for it and then decided it was in the wrong place. It was actually in the bigger pond about 150m further along the path, out of sight.
In the end Eddie voided the legs either side of that control and my time was 23:23, which put me in 2nd, but i planned it, so i have some advantage.
Didn't get no.11 spot on because i came in a bit high

Cannock chase (Rawnsley Hills)
Ran blue
I just couldnt keep up a fast pace for the whole distance
