Note

Spent a few hours this morning in emergency rather than orienteering. Looks like my problem is relatively benign, but for a while the tests were for retinal detachment. Instead its something called Posterior Vitreous Detachment. Sounds a lot worse than it is, which mildly annoying and highly distracting.

Shadowing Ilka as she checked control sites for her event on Tarrengower on the QB. Nice courses. The climb isn't as l as it can be on this map, there is some route choice and a couple of very challenging controls.
Mid way through I started having vision problems. These included lots of small black dots across my full field of vision. That's not what you need when you are trying to read lots of small black dots on a granite map. At that point it was up to Ilka to do the fine navigation. Had a quiet afternoon and evening from then on. Off to hospital the next morning when a sleep didn't improve thin.

Running tempo 40:06 [4] 8.0 km (5:01 / km)

Penance for not doing a run on Sunday, and for being slow on Saturday. Jogged over to the creek and did two there and back trips, which works out at 8 k exactly. Had hoped to break 5 min/k, but failed in this by six seconds. Perhaps two or three seconds were lost in the three 180 direction changes. Will try it again in a couple of weeks.
PS At this speed, I may be just able to keep up with Julie.

C • At this speed, I may be just able to keep up with Julie 2

C • Update - no I can't 5
