Wednesday May 14 |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 4 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: montrail phoenix |
| Warmed up by running down to Ecclesall Woods from our place. Ran in to MikeS as he was doing his warm-up and ran the last couple of hundred metres with him. |
| Orienteering (Ecclesall Woods) 40:00 [3] 5 km (8:00 / km) | |
| shoes: montrail phoenix |
| Felt a bit tired after the fell race last night but managed at least a bit of tempo around the course. Really enjoyed the run through the woods until I ran past a holly bush and forgot to blink and copped a holly leaf in the eye. Continued on but my vision through my left eye was (and still is) pretty blurry so my depth perception was pretty shot. Decided to pull out before the last loop since I was having a lot of trouble running through the terrain. |
Tuesday May 13 |

| shoes: montrail phoenix |
| Cracker race, shame I was such a pussy on the steep downhills. Perfectly happy on really technical rocky flat and slightly downhill paths but as soon as it gets steep downhill my knees are no good. Oh well, bit of s & c would probably help.
Was gradually pulling in Shane Ohly throughout the course (apart from the steep dowhills when he pulled away almost out of sight) and almost got to him in the sprint to the line but ran out of finish chute. |
| Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 2 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: montrail phoenix |
| Easy jog down to the start and a bit of a jog around, walk/jog after the finish to see how Kelly was going and then back up to the car. |

| Running (sprints and drills) 40:00 [1] 1 km (40:00 / km) | |
| shoes: adidas Neptune XS (spikes) |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Caught early train to tamworth and then got picked up by paul furness in his Audi TT to go to the junior selection meeting. After a few hours discussion and a lovely lunch out on liz and paul's lawn, james williams dropped me back at meadowhall on his way home and I caught the train to sheffield then caught a bus home and then drove out to Castleton to pick up Kelly and Kim who had been running and drinking their way around the peak district along with Ricky, Charlie Adams and a host of others. Got home picked up some snags and steak then took off for Nails birthday party and then headed out to the pub. Busy day but no training. |

| Taking a moral victory today as everybody else had run here about 50 times before and I did it without a compass.
Lost time on the shortest leg on the course and by choosing to run through the middle of as many thickets as possible on the long uphill leg. |
