To Suisse, stretching x2

Event: MV Evening Park Race
 

Stretching x4

Solid. A couple of minir things that could have made it a little quicker:
#2 - dived in to early following a track which i thought was tge path. Fighting my way out probably cost 10s
#3 - again through the fight earlier than necessary and then got chased by a dog which i almost ran over a couple of times - 5s
#10 - wasn't reading ahrad enough and went west (longer). Realised in 50m, but it's already too late - 5s
#17 - stopped too early as I thought I'd overrun it, but turns out the control was in the wrong place - 10s
Maybe could have shaved off 30s, but good race overall. 5th

HFW - easy. Tried soke strides but my IT band hurt a little, so I stretched a little and took it easy

Event: SE Middle Distance Championships
 

Stretching x2

Total mess of a race. First half awful, second half better, from three perspectives:
A) me - I made plenty of errors, no doubt about that. Definitely not a perfect race
B) the map - it just compounded my errors, exagerrating each of them with missing fallen trees, incorrect vegetation boundaries, and missing contour features
C) the course - it was far too long for a middle distance. On a really good day I would have probably gone below 50, but not sub-40 which you would expect for a middle
Overall, at least 10-15 mins lost (#4 - 4mins, #6 - 2mins, #7 - 3.5mins, #8 - 0.5mins, # 9 - 0.5mins, #13 - 0.5min, #20 - 0.5mins, #24 - 2mins, plus a ton of smaller things). Not really worth reviewing. Almost embarrassed to finish third, but justifiably 10 mins down

Mainly heading back to get a compass for Anca

Stretching x2, Anca's birthday and horse-riding gay

Stretching x1

Stretching x3

ITW - left IT is a little sore every now and again, which I think is linked to a tight left hamstring. Plenty of stops (3/4) for for stretching as well as a quick drink
