Made the most of my flexible hours and nipped out to the Military League event at Turf Hill and Millersford in the New Forest. The 9.25km was a bit of a cross-country race – not because there were trains of competitors but because you could often see the next control from the one before and, with the area being so runnable, there was nothing to do but head straight for it. In the end I clocked up 54:05.
I fumbled the 13th control (unlucky for some) but the results show that I just don’t have the speed to compete with the likes of Dave Rollins. Good fun though and I should make an effort to get out to more of them. Paid for it later though – while working late to make up time my manager caught me and is sending me to Bonn first thing tomorrow morning.
