Dunmere - 11th April 2010

The 7th event in 10 busy days including the JK, Eden and Wheal Florence.  My legs were certainly feeling the previous events and it felt like a long 5.5km 260m.  So getting around was certainly the order of the day.  So I was suprised to come 3rd in a time of 1:04:02.  It was also a good day for the Lockett Family, with a 3rd for my brother David and 1st for our Children Abbie and Erryn.  Now looking forward to a rest before moving house, then the devon orienteering event at Ashclyst Forest

Eden Project Sprint - 8th April 2010

Nice sunny day at the Eden Project down in Cornwall, for this post JK sprint race and a great turn out as well.  My course "Teak" was 3.7km 190m and I took 51.07.  My GPS read 6.1km total distance so as you can see from the map there was little opportuninty  to take the straight line option.  The visit into the Biodomes was intresting but I don't now want to go Orienteering in the tropics!!!!  Great event and look forward to seeing the times of the elite runners as there were at least 4 current British Orienteering Squad members present.

JK Day Four - Relay


Relay day of the JK and back to 1:10000 thankfully, and a short course for my poor old legs.  3.4km in 29:14, we finished in 33rd which we were all really pleased with.  Now for some rest before the Devon Event at Wheal Florence on Wednesday and the Cornwall Event at The Eden Project on Thursday...... all go.

JK Day Three - Braunton Burrows


 What a difference a day makes, goodbye mud and the rain, hello sanddunes and sunshine.  11.3km today in excellent terrain.  1:15000 difficult to read due the nature of the terrain, but battled around in around 125min. (Waiting for actually result as there is an error due to late start!!)  Anyway fairly happy just need to be more confident in the control circle.  Tomorrow the JK Relay, only 3.2km so nice way to finish the event.

JK Day 2 - Cookworthy 3rd Apr 2010



Mud, Mud, Mud. As you can see from the state of the map it was incredibly muddy out in the forest today.  We had 9.5km 205m and it felt good if slow. 116min.  I was cautious at first as I haven’t run on a 1:15000 map for a long while.  But soon got into it and enjoyed the experience up to control 20, when tiredness set in  and some silly mistakes started to appear.  On the sand dunes tomorrow at Braunton Burrows plenty of time to enjoy the contour detail as M35L is 11.2km!!!!

JK Sprint - Bicton College 2nd April 2010

Really enjoyable return to my former college, saw bits I hadn't seen before.  Local knowledge did help a little in around the buildings.  My time 26:16 winning time as I left 18:50ish.  After the race the last bit of sport was pushing cars out of the car park!!!!  Tomorrow sees us at Cookworthy for a Classic race 11.9km 250m.  I am I fit enough!!
