Big Foot Sprints - first race. Oh so slow! A couple of small mistakes: fell asleep on the way to 2 so ran a bit further than necessary, couldn't make out a clean way to 4 so went back past 2 (clean but longer), then a wobble going to 5 (again not a mistake but extra distance), was very careful at 10 (site of the infamous mp last year), lost a bit racing Eoin to 11. Unfitness showing and not aided but running further than necessary...

Big Foot Sprints - second race. A slightly better race but this time some mistakes. Almost overshot 1 and people starting behind caught me here. Didn't keep up with myself going to 4 so overshot a bit and a few people overtook. Lost a couple of places at 6 as I went around the garden, 8 lost a bit more going around and not punching through the hedge, 9 got the good route choice & got back in front but lost a bit of time again on 10 and 11. A bit more lost on wrong choice to 17. Got to feel holier than thou and enjoyed beating the guy I saw break OOB 4 times in the course of the day :) The thought of beating him made me run to my limit.
A great race concept and so much fun to run a sprint race the right length!

Warm up and control collecting. A good lock system for SI units.
Note
Very pleased to get a full week of training after 8 weeks off!
Legs are tired now.
