Event: British Night O Champs
Orienteering - Night race (British Night Champs) 1:26:56 [3] 10.53 km (8:15 / km) +245m 7:24 / km
shoes: inov8 Roclite295 (1)
BNC Bentley Woods Course 3 (M21S).
Took things quite slowly to start with - trying to get the torch, compass and emit comfortable. Managed to tread on a pheasant that was hiding in the bracken - certainly startled me when it flew up and hit my arm! Very slippery steep valley between 1 and 2 - grabbed hold of a tree at the top; it snapped, I slid down to the bottom...
Times to 3 and 4 more respectable but I didn't see any fence... To 5 I was unsure how clear the rides were - counting from the ride corner by 14, I found that at least one was totally indistinguishable from the white around it... Insecurity led to me to head east though.
7-8 a bit clumsy, but ok, to 9 followed loads of W21s, but was slightly off. 10-11 a TVOC guy was following me - at a confusing junction mid way, I tricked him into heading N instead of NW, for a few moments at least. 11-12 just didn't seem to fit the map right - need to see GPS to find where I went. 14 came quite a bit more quickly than I expected.
Nothing further of note from my performance. Nice wood and good course. My second M21S victory of the season...

Jog over to Coombe Dingle. Raining and leg/knee started didn't feel good when going down Parry's Lane.

Running 15:00 [3] 2.5 km (6:00 / km) +30m 5:40 / km
shoes: Saucony ProGrid Triumph 7
to/from the Downs. Rushed up there as I'd spent the whole afternoon playing with the university's biggest water tank, making waves - had 25 minutes to get home, changed and up to the Downs!
Running (UBOC Training) 5:45 [2] 1.02 km (5:38 / km)
shoes: Saucony ProGrid Triumph 7
Warm up whilst Alice (on a rest week) planned how to torture us...

400m 1:44
600m 2:48
200m 0:43

Anybody out there able to give me a lift up to the BNC on Saturday? Mark Blackstone doesn't yet know if he'll be well enough...
