Running - off road race (FoD Parkrun) 20:37 [5] 5.0 km (4:07 / km) +20m 4:03 / km
slept:2.0 weight:73.9kg shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Red/Blue
Still not feeling great.
Ran this hard as a test to see how I well I could do prolonged fast off road. Not very. First lap was full speed - 1km in 3:50 and the lap in 8:48 - 8s off best time. Tiring quickly on lap 2 and feeling symptoms of dehydration a bit. Very pleased once I got to finish line.

Orienteering race (NGOC Parkend) 51:53 [3] 6.96 km (7:27 / km) +200m 6:31 / km
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Red/Blue
NGOC League at Parkend. 5.7km Blue.
Nice long leg to start. Ok route but turned down an unmapped dead end track in attempt to dodge climb - had to go back and round (40s). Slightly wrong at the end too.
OK on 3, but 60-90s lost on 4. Going the right way most of the time just couldn't match any features up at the end. Found control by turning round and seeing Megan punch.
Generally good routes the rest of the time. Overtaken by Megan again just after 6 and for third time at 8.
Glad of the downhill finish, but a bit of a loss on final control as thought I'd seen it on top of hill when it was actually in hole at bottom. Meant Duncan caught and overtook on run down to finish.
Quite a nice course today. Legs pretty tired uphill but probably still going well for me in the Forest with October vegetation.
