Orienteering warm up/down 25:00 [1] 2.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

Proper warm up and warm down before and after first round. Warmed up for finals but didn't cool down... knelt down when changing and pulled left shin muscle. Haven't done that before. Very sore in evening but went away overnight with ibuprofen.

British Sprint Champs Qualifier @ York Uni. Heats. 22/34 M21E. +23.7% to OJ. 6 seconds behind Craig. (Was 28/59 including M35 and M40 who ran same course. If had ran M40 would have been 3rd, 41" behind JamesL and 28" behind AndyM. MattM ran same course and beat me by 33").
Good run - happy with this esp. as still not right after half marathon 6 days ago. Quite clean. Ran hard. Was better where a bit technical, lost a little time on the no brain running controls near the end. Some good splits esp. on very short legs, e.g. 4= of 59 on 12, 11= on 15).

British Sprints B Final. 68/85. +30.7% to RichardR. 1'07 behind AndrewL, 39" behind Craig.
Not so good. Was doing quite well and was 42nd at 12 - two quite significant errors though. 20" at 13 - planned a route using a printing error (magnetic north line looked like a passage) and changed my mind and more seriously 17 - ran past control 40". Would have been a good run without those, but then... the sport is not about the whatifs...
