| BUSA Individual, Stanton Moor. Really really scrappy, not concentrating well and control flow/reading ahead was absolutely terrible. Not helped by the energy sapping nature of the terrain, especially the heather, which I'm still not strong enough to deal with yet...
Poor start - 15-20" lost on each of first two controls. Control description confusion/error at #6 and 7, latter was faffing too low on slope, should have read it was a 6m high crag... (20", 90"). Exit error from #12, poor route choices (heather rather than path...) to #13 & 14 (30", 1'), latter compounded by a silly error.
Hesitant in butterflies, not helped by being over-cautious on brambly rocky slopes, 90"+ lost on #19 through poor route and poor map-reading... Needless 90"+ lost faffing at #24, silly route to #27 was completely unnecessary (1') and poor exit from #30 (30") was likely down to tiredness by that point.
Not a good day really - shouldn't be 10 mins down on Chris Williamson... Some bits felt like I hadn't fully recovered from this lingering cold, maybe it's just the lack of running in the last couple of weeks caused by the cold... |

| Slow run with Chris E up to the start, then jog/walk/cough back down to download. Run up there didn't feel entirely comfortable, should have indicated what was to come... |

| Really unproductive day post end of term dinner - read lazy and hungover. Thought I should do something, so went out for a cycle. First bit was fine, but coming home across the hills, fighting into the wind, wasn't fun and really quite slow... |

| Only 4 of us tonight, and some interesting exercises. Felt a bit more tiring than I thought it should have... Couple of strange aches but generally fine. |
