Event: British Night Championships (UKOL)
 

BNOC Cademan, M45
knew it would be about reading the map and keeping it tidy, nevertheless really struggle to do both, had to bring the map close to read it, closer than previously, which meant I couldn't see the ground properly afterwards, kept having to switch between the two, glasses broke with five controls to go, surprisingly kept it clean from there, pace was moderate

massage and acupuncture to loosen up the old limbs

Event: London Night Series 2015-16 #4: Wimbledon Common
 

Wimbledon Night O
good warm up for BNOC, lots of indistinct paths, courses had route choice, although the controls were pretty easy to find, didn't feel strong, but the right calf didn't complain at all

#3 unnecessary hesitation, didn't simplify enough at the start of the leg (also cut through the bramble but the control was just off a path beyond [50]
#5 again didn't simplify enough, tried to follow paths but got the wrong one and had to relocate on main track [90]
#7 cautious, didn't cut through light green [10]
#8 found unmarked path so drifted right [15]
#11 caught in holly exiting the control [15]

6th (43), 6mins behind Michael Crone, 5 behind Couldridge

Long - Splits

had to give the Ashridge event a miss because of the calf strain, although if I'd had my own transport I might have been tempted, can't hardly feel as I walk around, glad of the lie-in though, hopefully be fit for the night event on Tuesday
