Note
(injured)
Apparently I'm going to Interland in 2 weeks' time.
Best stock up on painkillers then! Not sure who's dropped out (injured), but I've been called up, so I'll get another chance to be beaten by Clive at a major event.....
Genuinely wasn't expecting this.

Sport climbing. Wye Valley.
Back horrendous this morning, plus beaten up badly from 2 races yesterday & a bad night (related).
Had arranged to climb with Steve tho & the weather was stunning, so even tho I felt ghastly, headed out to Wyndcliffe quarry- 60 people there? Tops off, full sun, February. Global warming.
10 pitches, from 5+ to 6b+ (the 6b+ I seconded with one rest) - everything (mainly 6a/+) clean on lead.
Very good day but in pieces by the end as was Steve! Top.
Howling in pain on one route where you had to pick your feet right up - back not letting me do this. I need answers. Each morning I'm like a 90 year old. It's TERRIBLE.

Beatuful day, the FoD was stunning. A delight.
One big miss - no 8 - in wrong large depression? Assumed i was in the wrong due to sloppy attack point, but several agreed (John Simmons suggested it).

(injured) (rest day)
LH knee sore from O yesterday (old "Gower" injury?)
Also beaten up & DOMS. Brown a bit much at my age?
apart from cycling to town & some walking around, a rest day. Back awful first thing, but serious stretches sorted it out for the day. This time...

Orienteering race 1:05:55 [4] 11.03 km (5:59 / km) +239m 5:24 / km
(injured) shoes: VJ Integrators
MLS Brown course, Bulford ridge, 9.3km / 235m. Long & hard!
Back bad in morning, did a lot of stretches. Scene of disaster last year, as I went with a really bad back (...), and felt terrible at start, & not surprisingly RH calf pulled in 1st 10 minutes, and I was OUT of the JK, and most of the season. Bad back.... same area..... superstitious? Come on then.
Wore dobs - error , as ground quite hard so got sore feet by end.
no 7 2mins - many on Blue course messed up here - unmarked cycle track pulled us all off line. Had to relocate.
no 8 - 1 min - went down the slope idiotically as had not looked carefully enough at map. And veg printing was a bit weird.
no 11 - 2 mins? - don't count this, the brambles were so bad, it was be torn to shreds or lose time, so i lost time. Veg mapping inside the wood was suspect. Hmmm.
Few errors from there, long dead running no 17 & 18 (8 mins!) (a 4:32 km), then shuffling round top controls, trying to hold it together, which I did. Pleasingly spiking controls & execution good, esp. 23-24-25-26. LH calf "snitching", or am I paranoid? It survived; dry hard slopes down to finish I wasn't able to run freely on tho, due to back pain & sore feet. Ouch.
A bit peeved to have Kev Fielding just ahead, but this wasn't a top flight Phil day. 54 mins by Harrison McCartney. Jamie Parkinson 57, but he was clearly walking/jogging some legs. R. Mawer took me out again, by 3 mins. Sigh. Not fast enough!
Result - 8th! What a load of crap! http://www.baoc.info/sites/default/files/2019/02/2...
