Glasgow Park Championships

One of my favourite orienteering events. Three parks around Glasgow with relatively straightforward and very short sprint courses. 

Park 1 was Glasgow Green in the freezing cold. A very simple course but made a howler of an error running confidently to the wrong place around 400m beyond the control sight and losing 3 or more minutes on a course taking around 20 mins to to finish.

Park 2 was Alexandra Park. A nice urban park and fairly straightforward but started off with a big error on control 1. I think allowed myself to be distracted by other runners and their routes rather than careful focus on the map and my own choices.

Park 3 was Drumpellier which I had run recently so was pretty familiar territory. A better run this time but not enough to compensate for prior errors.



Still - a good fun day out even if my performances were very poor.
