Normal Orienteering race 1:14:36 [3] ***
shoes: Inov 8s - Oroc 280s

Boom! 8th place and 2nd Brit - now that's more like it - beat Mr Nixon by 2seconds, which was basically the 3secs I took out of him on the run in.... Goes to show Paul that even if your no longer in the race it's still worth pushing the run in!

So the race, took it easy from the start just concentrating on staying focussed was a bit low for 1 but knew exactly where I was so gave me confidence, much better than the last two days. This is where I Took a big chink out of the other boys as they all fluffed it. Ran fairly well If slow to 5 big contour features helping my movement.

Saw Ollie at 5 which gave me a boost - 6 min made up, nearly lost focus but managed to move past him and get back on it.

Fairly clean then few wobbles but ok, brain fart at 12 but only lost a min or so - went static as was terrified of the headless chicken of the previous two days... Recovered ok then but fluffed 14 where unconfidence made me hestitate and should have just committed as I knew where I was Harold appeared here 16min made up.

Clean but slow to 17 where I caught Ollie again - not sure where he got back

Note

Past me, but retook him and came in about 2 min up

Run in was ok- didn't the next round Alex and evan beat me by a second... And Ed stott took me by 2!

Happy
