PB 10km

Filed under: Orienteering, Personal — Chris Curtis @ 21:01

There has been very little orienteering for a while but I have been training - during the summer vacation I have run all the way around Horley, the town where I live, using public footpaths away from roads. I did not do this in one go (four sections actually) but this was really good. Running across fields and through woodlands while doing wayfaring using an ordnance survey map has to be good orienteering training.

Fitness has been improving too. I ran my fastest ever 10km tonight which would have been even faster except that I became  lost in some woodland (I hit the wrong path and ran into the back of a row of gardens, rather than onto the lane I wanted and it took ages to fight my way back). Not an impressive time but the fastest I have ever done it, so I will still feel proud!
