Clevedon Court - Green
Very enjoyable run in a lovely small bit of woods, even in the rain
Seemed to lose more time than I thought, where I did make mistakes
No. 3 - Seemed a lot longer than expected and drifted too far right - came across path/bank crossing and took a while to work out I had gone nowhere near as far as I thought - 40 secs
No. 4 - hot a large depression, thinking it was one of the three mapped ones, with control in middle, turned right, no more depressions, went back other way, no more depressions - carried on another 10 metres and found the 3 (smaller) depressions - 1:20
No. 11 - thought I took a good line, but ended up much furtehr left of control than expecting and couldn't quite match the map - 1:10
No. 12 - slightly left - 15 secs
No. 13 - overshot very slightly - 30 secs
No. 16 - took wrong path in quarry initialy - 30 secs

Control Collecting
Biggest error of the day - got back to car and counting up to make sure I got them all and saw a control on far east of map which had not been on our course, which I had missed as map was folded..... so had to go for that one after!!
Achilles a little bit sore, so no night event tonight, just rugby (dull game, but at least England won!)

Running race 43:50 [3] 8.54 km (5:08 / km) +271m 4:26 / km
Piercefield Park Night Race
Started very steady and quite far back, as waned to see how Achilles was - possibly a bit too far back.
Felt ok so found a nice steady pace and was racing a young lad from FoD for a large part of race. Overtaken on downhill after water features by 2nd Lady, but stayed jus behind her on first part back on Wye Valley path - overtook her just before steps - then felt good up last hill and overtook about 4 more - although the MDC guy just pipped me on line with a sprint my aged legs couldn't match
32nd - quite happy with this and think it was another step forward
