Orienteering - Urban race (NGOC League) 51:06 [3] 7.91 km (6:28 / km) +75m 6:10 / km
slept:6.0 (injured) shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Yellow1
NGOC League around Hartpury College. 6.5km course.
Ankle very strapped up again and took it very slow and steady to minimise risk of injury, and to allow for having had a week of non-stop study and worry relating to yesterday's exam (still another to go next week :-( ). The unseasonal heat (16 Celcius!) was a bit of a hindrance - it will take me some time to get back in to being able to run at higher temperatures without suffering.
No real mistakes - the urban part seemed easier this time than last. Did note that most of the controls were not in the right place and instead were hidden elsewhere - a Tom Mills quirk?
Highlight of the course was seeing the fence between 9 and 10 (roughly where the X is on the map) which had about 20 dead crows nailed to it.
Was impressively quick climbing over the fence just ahead of the finish control - wimped out of hurdling as suspected would catch bad foot.
Finished 4th - 9 mins down on a running Joe, and rather more upsetting, 5 mins down on a running Andy... Still might be good for top 3 in the league this year (or 2 if Patrick doesn't turn up next time!)
