Bradgate Park to Home

Did 1 hill rep of Old John's Tower (Up the crags from the car park - touch the tower then down again) then back across the golf courses through broombriggs then back through woodhouse and across the fields.

Great Route and went really hard through the fields to push for the end. Loved it and it was also really mild.

General Stretching whilst watching Moonraker to get some flexibility in my legs again - specifically my right one.

CLIMBING (Matrix) 1:30:00 [2]
shoes: Boreal Jokers

Did some bouldering at the matrix - as was very short of time - was planning on the works but the girls next door locked themselves out and had the latch on - so as local heroes we spend an hour trying to get at it with a coathanger through their letter box to push the latch down. After a long while with use of the headtorches and many coathangers... we decided it was best to smash the window. and we then found the latch needed to be pushed UP!! @"*%&"($£!!! never mind. Did some bouldering and completed some 'hard' routes along with some mediums i couldnt be bothered to do last week.

CONDITIONING 15:00 [1]

Stretches after i nearly nobbled myself on the yellow dyno and after as was getting ready...

CLIMBING (Bouldering indoors) 1:00:00 [1]

ORIENTEERING race (Longshaw National) 1:35:00 [4] *** 11.0 km (8:38 / km) +450m 7:10 / km
slept:4.0 weight:62kg shoes: OLWAY Tigers

I was really looking forward to this event, after the success of the Chasing sprint the day before. But I was disappointed.

I really enjoyed the first 10 controls. Then we got to the shitty part. Completely unavoidable for the planners (glad we didnt have anything like this for the saturday) but the 6 minute trog with tapes to another control was desperate and I got cold and bored.
Also the next leg was actualy the shittest thing in the world. Boulders+Moss+Running = CRAP. Didn;t like it at all. I'm not in a boo, just didnt like it.. and made worse by the rain. The rest of the course I was just tired after celebrating at the SPOOK Meal, not eating much brekkie and running lots the day before. Energy levels = 0.

Ah well, I got a nice wilfs from Haze and it was all good. Captains Memorial Followed and was a spectacular turnout with SPOOK winning everything except the footie - 2-0.. who'd heard of such a thing?!

RUNNING warm up/down (Warming Up) 45:00 [2] 5.0 km (9:00 / km)
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Cold and Wetness running to the start / running back from the finish in a bitter wind. Didn;t like the cold.

Event: ShUOC Chasing Sprint and Captians Memorial

ORIENTEERING (Planner's Fun Day Out) 5:00:00 [3] ***

Putting Controls out for ShUOC Chasing Sprint in the worst weather in the world. It seemed like Noah had a good idea this weekend.
