Event: UKUL, North East Urban League (NEUL) and Orienteering League (NEOL) event
 

Newcastle Urban - MO 6.3km

Went off at a slow jog and was able to get to the end without much walking at all - I must be on the mend.

Really, really good course. Much better, trickier than I was expecting and visiting parts i never knew existed (Even though I lived in this city for three years).

As with all recent ranking events I've dsq myself but it turned out I already did this at control 14. I read control description as Wall west side and and there was a control there (so i didn't check the code). It turns out that i misread the code and it was hedge west side (directly on the other side of the wall). Spot the difference Richard!

Up in Newcastle for the weekend. Was delighted that my triathlete friends were planning a swimming session this morning so went with them (expecting to be trailing in their wake)

3 x 20 lengths plus WU/WD

Wasn't too bad at all and they gave me a Garmin Swim that they don't need so I can log my swims properly and see splits

Arrived late so only managed 50 or 52. Had no energy even only after 30. Maybe that was due to having a pizza last night instead of pasta but not sure.

Back to swimming to give my leg a break. It's doesn't seem to be getting better :(
Woo 70 lengths. I think that's the most i've managed

10 x 1 run [ 1 min walk] same as yesterday. A bit faster and a bit more confident

Same as yesterday 10 x 1 min jog [1 min walk]. Tried to go a bit faster and felt a bit more confident.
