Orienteering race 1:05:00 [4] 6.0 mi (10:50 / mi)
shoes: Innov8 X-Talon 212 (2)
British Champs, Brown Clee.
M50L 8.9km 240m.
Quite happy with my performance. No big misses, just the odd hesitation in the circle on some of the more bingo controls. Needed Quentin and Clive to both mess up but they didn't. Comfortable 3rd place 2 mins behind Quentin and 30 seconds behind Clive.
Further analysis on inspecting the splits:
I was in the lead after the technical section at the start (#15). I then lost a minute to Quentin at #16. I did stand still in this block of forest as I was expecting some obvious ground features whereas there appeared to be nothing: the mapper must have imagined something. I then seem to have lost further time on the section through the unmapped forestry work/windblow. There definitely was some luck involved here in finding a good way through. Finally both Clive and I lost time on the penultimate control which was a particularly bad example of a bingo control. Taking nothing away from Quentin though: he seems to have just had the edge for the whole season.

Knackered but no particular aches or pains. Hamstring possibly feeling a bit better for the weekend's abuse.

Orienteering race 48:02 [4] 4.0 mi (12:01 / mi)
shoes: Innov8 X-Talon 212 (2)
Scottish Spring Middle Distance WRE, Bonskeid.
Blue course (same as Men's WRE) 5.6 km.
4th race in 3 days and really feeling it now. Thought I'd run OK but must have been plodding. 13 mins down on Pete Hodkinson.
A few hesitations plus a big miss (1.5 to 2 mins) at #18. Then maybe poor route selections for the two controls over the big hill at the end. In hindsight going round both times would probably have been quicker. Struggled to stay alive coming down the hill through fallen trees to the last control (1.46 min for 75m leg downhill!)
