SARUM New Years score at Copehill Down.
Great event in the secret village and around. Weather quite rubbish with winds and rain towards the end.
As usual with score, I got the strategy wrong and spent way too much time out in the fields - got almost all controls but did not have enough time to cover the village in the end. Should have got the points for the village first then gone out as far as I could!
Running wise it was OK considering I am still coming out from the cold. Saw a group of deers out in the open running around me (us) for a while.

Running long 1:27:07 [4] 18.2 km (4:47 / km) +84m 4:41 / km
Long run through Kings Park, Queens Park, Meyrick Park, through the upper/lower gardens and then the promenade from Bournemouth Pier to Boscombe Pier and Fishermans walk.
Very windy but the sun was out. Lots of people about. Wanted to see how I cope with a longer exercise - still a bit of cold lingering so not pushing uphills or anything. Did try a bit of a scenic part of Meyrick Park through trails and some forest so slowed down there a bit.

Note
Just noticed that I am ranked #1 in my club on the British Orienteering ranking list. Not sure if I should be glad or not - everything is relative. I am sure as hell not satisfied with most of my performances.

Running 1:00:17 [4] 12.52 km (4:49 / km) +58m 4:42 / km
First day back in Britain, and cold is starting to subside so I thought I'll hazard a run to see what it does to my cold. Still coughing etc, will see tomorrow if this helped or got it worse. Duly noted that I left my Garmin HRM somewhere, probably in Budapest through all the various packing of things between bags. Great.
Due to lack of recent training and cold I took an easy one today, except for trying for about 90% effort for a section back from Bournemouth to Boscombe Pier on the Promenade. I did this with about 4:15 pace which is not bad considering. The promenade is quite overblown with sand so felt almost like a trail run there. They fixed the lights on the Fishermans walk which will be good for HIIT later.

(sick)
Cold fully developed, but seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully should be good to get running again once back in Britain in two days.
Lovely weather in Frankfurt, shame I haven't got any running gear as I probably would now risk venturing out at least in the local park for a jog.
As is, it is christmas meals and family time - not bad. Oh, and later today: Star Wars with sis.

Out walking in Günthersburgpark in Frankfurt with family. Strange looking at all the joggers around - it is usually the other way around.
