Lovely Run with Caralyn at Hulne Park nr. Alnwick. Perfect day for running with amazing views and such a nice area for orienteering. Very interested in mapping it or something if it hasn't been already.

The Views from Brizlee Hill are perfect and you can see the Cheviot! WOW!

Warm up for relay

ORIENTEERING race (JK Relay) 28:30 [5] 4.2 km (6:47 / km) +180m 5:35 / km
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

JK Relay.
Had a bad run really. Messed up no2 by 2 minutes - and by that time I'd lost the leading group. Felt as though I'd messed up and thought I'd come in around 40-50th but I came in in 9th - not too bad but should have been in the top 2 or 3.
Passed over to Tom who did really well then Rhys had an amazing blast round , got the fastest time and we finished in 4th! Quality... SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK SPOOK

ORIENTEERING (JK Long Distance) 1:59:35 [4] **** 16.7 km (7:10 / km) +715m 5:54 / km
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Lovely area for the Classic Race at the JK.
Started First due to mispunching on saturday. Not so happy about that and the fact that it was tipping it down with snow when I started. Still wore my buff, thermal and gloves and was warm-ish.

Great control flow, and lovely runnable area - made about 2 choices where I didn't go straight. Lovely stuff!! Didn't really feel the distance but got cold towards the end on the crappy moorland bit. Loved it and aimed for 2 hours and got in in 1.59.35 - so happy!!

RUNNING warm up/down 25:00 [2]
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Warm up in the snow. Didn't have time after - ran back to the car - put everything i owned on.
Toasty Warm down jacket!

Warm up for JK Middle...

ORIENTEERING (JK Middle Distance Race) 44:15 [5] 6.6 km (6:42 / km) +250m 5:38 / km
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

JK Middle - Mispunched !!! Started off ok, felt really good - did the long leg really well until the circle but then cacked up some of the technical short legs.

Lundanes and the other German ran with me for a few controls then I couldn't keep up any longer. On the long leg Craney passed me - then to my suprise i caught him up again after the next control.

Finished strongly in the hail but mispunched the 3rd last and got really pissed off at the finish - didn't realise til the woman on download politely told me.

Crap - but hey it happens.

ORIENTEERING (Putting out controls) 2:00:00 [4] *****
spiked:35/38c shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Put out controls with Jon at Stanton in the blinding fog (20m visibiliy on top), was really tough and it was like a weights session putting 8 out at a time. Met Charlie (controller) half way through and managed just about to get everything in the right place for first start.

Hay bail carrying wasn't that fun and the protestors camp was quite scary too!
Still an excellent day of racing - Well dont to EUOC for winning overall and Neil/Scot/Helen/Jenny for some really fast times!

C • well done... 2

ORIENTEERING (Collecting controls) 1:00:00 [4] ****
shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Ran hard to collect controls and sorting/carrying etc everthing around.

Rushed back to Sheffield in 35mins to get to the Chinese and watch SPOOK demolish everyone in the beer race!

BIKING long (Rushup Loop) 2:30:00 [4] 15.0 km (10:00 / km) +628m 8:16 / km
shoes: Hardrocks

Parked at Mam Tor and wrestled our way against the wind to the top. Then sent up the bridlepath up Rushup Edge to the junction near the summit. Took the right hand path down towards Edale - excellent rocky decent with a lot of jumps and technical stuff. Met the road then climbed up towards Mam Tor. Took the bridlepath to Hollins Cross then down to Casleton using the bridleway... Steep and bloody good.

Possibly the best ride so far....And my new bike is amazingly good now that I've bought some flat V8 pedals.

C • 1

C • you're riding on V8 pedals?... 2

Note

A poor week of running training but another excellent biking week. Really feel the power in my legs. On our ascent to Mam Tor from Castleton I took 3 minutes out of Jon over 1.3km with 100m climb! Excellent Smithers!

RUNNING warm up/down 25:00 [1] 2.0 km (12:30 / km)

Run around like childern clicking our heels (me andy and tom)

ORIENTEERING race (Crich Brown Course) 1:04:55 [4] *** 7.0 km (9:16 / km) +355m 7:24 / km
spiked:19/24c shoes: OLWAY Tigers

Colour coded at Crich. After drinking lots and dancing hard til the early hours I decided to venture out with Tom B to Crich. Not knowing where it was posed little problem and we headed south. Found it, warmed up, ran it, got scratched to death, fell off a cliff and it was actually nice orienteering apart from those bits... "La La La...Orienteering in the forest..."

Turns out they are actually wuite hard to use! but still enjoyed it tonnes - my new bike is SO good. Fell off amazingly on the kerb getting back to the car with both legs attached to the bike... whooops!
