16 QOs took part in the first day of JK 2022 - a sprint race on Swansea Campus and Singleton Park in the glorious sunshine.

The atmosphere was fantastic for the first JK event in several years. The area consists of an intricate network of buildings with connecting paths, stairs and cut-throughs, and an open area with some more formal gardens.

I enjoyed my first ever sprint and I am pretty happy with my result.

Despite being quite quick off the line, it took me a few controls to get my eye in - I failed to drop down to control 1 at the stairs, so needed to double back, and misjudged a turn messing up my route to 2. 3 and 4 were good, but I had a brain freeze at 5 losing more time.

From 5 though things came together and the rest of the course went pretty well (well except going to 11 via 12!).

I enjoyed the run-in, and it was a glorious sunny day and the atmosphere on Swansea campus was buzzing - roll on the next few days :slight_smile:

From Hamish (M16):

Day 1 was a Sprint distance at Swansea University, Singleton Park. My M16 distance was 3.1 km, a mix of urban through the university campus and nearby parkland on a detailed 1:3,000 scale. I liked it because you had to be very focused on exactly where your control was and what number it was because they were so close to each other.
