Stoke Park run in terraclaws - still a mudbath in many places.

Did a quick segment (3rd fastest for me) as a token effort (3:40 pace), plus a determined km back down the way I came, but generally pretty lame. Will probably take tomorrow off.

My sister Helen in Geneva definitely seems to have caught COVID-19. she's pretty unhappy & unwell.

C • Sister. 6

Back sore (as usual) now I'm running again.

Cycled to & from CMRC conference in Bristol. Back earlier this time.

Steady run to toad patrol area, immediately found a toad, pregnant female; saved another 4, one given to me by a cyclist. Headtorch on . Stopped a few times - looking for signs of randy amphibia.

Horrid rain came down so I turned back & got home quick.

C • Cane toads ? 7

Cycled to & from CMRC conference in Bristol.

At conference 13 hours, 9am - 10pm

Not drunk. No knee pain on bike.

Sore from racing rather too hard yesterday, need to work on glutes & back / hips / hamstrings, as calf may pop at this rate otherwise.

Note: Liz's mum passed away last night, age 95; sad times but almost a relief.

Live your life while you can. It's short.

NGOC Middle, Brown, minchinhampton 6.9km/100m
Had expected 7.2km / 140m, so they cut off some slopes stuff......

4th 35:49 - or 5:12 per kilometre.

Open, fast & windy area, v easy really, started 1 min after Nick Nourse, ran him down by no 4/5, then he hung on behind me so had to try to get clear & was overtaking streams of "runners". SIAC an advantage.

Bonkers & not really" proper orienteering" (there's a theme here), tho Owain Jones' 31:17 (4:32/km, i shit you not), doesn't show he's necessarily going that badly.......

Clive & Tim Britton ahead, but not by a lot. Bonkers but great fun; this was speedwork!

Spent day chasing around the Green Man Ultra course (45 mile muddy "race"!) in car cheering on Mark Burley who came an amazing second! https://my.raceresult.com/150381/results?lang=en

He was way ahead of my clubmate Jane Faram (ex-Sheffield) who posted a 2:56 marathon in Seville 2 weeks ago.......

Then had a huge curry (Lynne's birthday).
