Orienteering 58:37 [3] 9.88 km (5:56 / km) +153m 5:30 / km
ahr:145 max:177
Concorde Chase, Hawley & Hornley.
Short Brown, 8.7/165
Didn't sleep well last night so went in with low expectations and started slowly - which was probably a good thing as I managed to maintain a decent 'cruising speed' all the way through.
A very clean run navigation wise in what is a super faffy area with lots of paths / thickets / pits etc - so attackpoints were key, and I found them all. A bit lucky in places too with people popping out of controls just at the right time. Even managed to survive a fairly strong nosebleed halfway round though my map and O top were pretty splattered.
Managed to win the course, which was nice, though sadly no PaulC. And it was definitely the right choice not to do Brown (which I had considered) as the winning time was 90 for 11k!

Running 36:59 [3] 6.99 km (5:17 / km) +61m 5:04 / km
ahr:128 max:168
Early morning run from my work offsite’s hotel in Hertfordshire. I really, really didn’t want to go, but actually it was lovely once out.
Held up by a large pack of schoolkids on one path, but I managed ti slalom around them in the end

Part 1 of Barnes O-Duathlon: Cycle to Barnes
Orienteering 30:56 [3] 5.61 km (5:31 / km) +3m 5:30 / km
ahr:160 max:184
Part 2 of Barnes O-Duathlon: Night-O on Barnes Common.
As I had entered online, I went straight from cycling to orienteering with maybe 3 minutes in between, so the legs were pretty heavy to start with. Barnes is always faffy at night so I lost some seconds here and there, plus 45 seconds I reckon on the route choice (my eyes were too bad to see one of the stairs.)
It was ok overall though plus the controls in the cemetery were definitely “atmospheric”.
