orienteering 28:00 [5] 4.0 km (7:00 / km) +50m 6:35 / km
VHI relay, Hillsborough Forest.
Apart from being knackered, felt much better today. My legs were a bit sore but as soon as I started running I felt I could be aggressive and push the pace, which I hadn't been able to do at all the day before.
The relay format doesn't give you much clue as to how your team is doing. We seemed to be a long way down when Lucy came in but I think actually we were doing ok, and I had Eddie Harwood and Kevin Harding to chase maybe a minute or so in front of me. I passed them between 4 and 5, and didn't really see anybody else on my loop. I did see lots of people on other loops, the courses being quite convoluted and going through the same central area multiple times. I lost a few seconds each of the 3 times I had a control in this area, maybe a minute in total. From other people's comments that wasn't too bad.
I don't really know how long I took, there are no official results yet. Alison looked to be running really strongly at the finish and brought us back as the leading English team, in third place about 3 minutes down on the Irish and also behind the Welsh.
England won the VHI by a huge margin, possibly helped by the scots getting their relay teams a bit confused.
