Event: HOC WEE (Winter Evening Event)
 

7.365km with 80m climb in 0:50:17 hoc wee event Hartlebury common. Fun area at night a maze of paths very easy to be on wrong one. Got better when I slowed down a bit and made sure I was on the right one going for conservative routes. Was not running well but the concentration required distracted me from that.

10.735km with 211m climb in 1:07:42. Bok training the barn. Just Jackie Tommie and me. Pushed fairly hard up first hill. Also down the long diaganal decsent but that was enough for me. A bit of an extended run through town after taking the short field route. Dave Urche turned up at the pub for a visit.

Collecting in 5 controls at a very casual pace.

2 hour MTBO score in the Forest. Forgot phone so not tracking guessing distance and climb a bit. Had to borrow a watch to time myself.

Had planned to go anti clockwise but no obvious route that way so went the other way around. 4, 3, 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 8, 7, 10, 11, 12. well over the hour here was not sure about going over to Lighning tree hill but did go for it but kept to the hard tracks missing the boggy control. 14, 15, 21, 20, real trouble over the road for 22 as got stuck in cemetery which has a track marked through it but there was a 2 meter fence to get the bike over which was fun. 23, 24 and 18 to finish. Should probably of looked at getting 19 and coming in a bit late but was not absolutely sure of time. maybe a better order would of been 21, 22, 23, 24, 20, 19. Doing 4 first was also questionable for the points.

Ended up 2nd 15 points off Michal so it will be close in the league.

5.829km with 216m climb in 0:63.40. Qo night event Staple hill. Don't think I have run on an area with such a mix of terrain. Some delightfully open beach wood and brambely mashy hell.

Did blues first 116 108 107 all nice then some bad bits though to 118 111 115 105. Decided to skip 106 here as only 15 points qnd a long way. Relay nice bits for 112 120 change over to red on the half hour. 114 the best stuff down to 119 should of gone up around rough open but went down and into brambles hell 3 or 4 mins of fighting often on hands and knees to 104 decided to skip climb for 103 and 102 so straight for 117 where there was more hell but in thigh deep marsh as well as the brambles. 113 and sure to ne late 109 skipped 110 as light playing silly buggets for last few. Slog up hill as hard as I could for 3.40 late. 420 minus 37 out of 500.
