Lincoln city race 2011
Running mens open again :/ quite a long course today :L got the last start just before 12:30 because i was busy . Started ok hit number 1 well but then lost 4.5 mins on number 2 by making 3 diffrent mistakes on 1 control firstly ran to the wrong side of the wall , then took the wrong route round to the right side and then took the wrong road so i had to turn around and go all the way back . Then when i got to the right side lost another min trying to find the right way through the castle passages to the control , a bit annoyed to lose the race so early on but i still ran round the rest ok not really pushing just easy run pace mainly. Lost another 15-20 secs on 8 and 23 . Finished in 8th not to happy with my run but it was a good weekend although very tiring :P

another crap run to finish off the weekend.
ran with Matt and Quentin on m48- it.
they both had good runs
hit the first control ok the n spent 15 mins looking for the second one which i eventually gave up on , it was on a ride in the middle of a green area even after relocating twice i still couldn't get it :/ then had to really push round to get all the compulsorily controls within the time limit. got back with 5 mins to spare but i had missed out 3 of my controls felt like i let the team down a bit but we still won so its all good :)
