| ShUOC intervals in Endcliffe Park. Same session as a few weeks ago, full loop followed by a smaller one, though ground much drier today. 3.35 (1.18), 3.36 (1.22), 3.32 (1.28), 3.29 (1.38), 3.29 (1.38). Felt pretty good once warmed up and enjoyed them! Was even ready for another!!! |

| Orienteering 46:10 [2] | |

| Night O in Eccy Woods. Quite tricky and bushy in the dark, still feeling tired and didn't want to do anything strenuous so took it very slow and tried not to make mistakes. Succeeded on all but one and a few that I couldn't see very easy. No real flow though but the map was hard to read as the printing was faint and rough. Good to get out for a terrain session though. |

| Orienteering 49:35 [5]7.6 km (6:31 / km) +190m 5:48 / km | |

| Brimham Rocks. Had to run course 2 as they'd run out of course 1 maps by the time we registered :( Lousy course it was too, a few really dumb legs along tracks and loads of controls waving at you as we spent a lot of our time doing course 1 backwards. Aside from half the trees missing from the map it was actually very good and a fun place to run (though the heather was tough in places). Legs still very tired so the hills and heather were a struggle. Only 34 today but I made the M35 result list... |

| Burbage with Danger and Camel. Danger had planned a radical course; it went clockwise! Tried legs and took a while to warm up and then found the heather at the end real though. Navigating is so much easier when your not pushing yourself, there's so much time! Good session though, thanks guys. |

| Road bike 1:31:00 [3]31.5 km (2:53 / km) | |
| rhr:43 slept:7.5 weight:71kg |
| A57 to Moscar and then back on the minor roads through Strines, Bradfield, Dungworth and Stannington. Fierce windy altogether and nearly packed it in as soon as I left the house, it was a right struggle getting to the top of the A57. Nearly got done in by a divot in a Chelsea tractor who pulled right across in front of me into his parking space with even a glance, and then beeped as if to tell me to get out of the way. Numpty. |

| Short Redmires loop. Too close to lunch but had to get out before dark. Stomach wasn't to delighted at being thrown around but it didn't make much of a difference as my legs were completely not there. Couldn't have gone much faster.

| Rivelin Dam anti-clock. Baltic cold heading out and thick fog, broke about half way round (sort of) and almost saw a bit of sun. The outside bit of my leg between my calf and ankle (I'm sure there's a real name for it) was sore on the climbs (from tiredness) but stopped hurting as I warmed up. |

| Normal hard session now, but started on a good set and got most of the nasty ones out of the way early. Feel grand after the weekend but I suppose that I didn't do that much hard running. Good crowd out tonight and even managed to get Chris along again - after he'd already been for a run!!! Also managed to off-load the BOC relay trophy at last :) |

| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| WCH Regional Event, Beaudesert. Much better area than I was expecting, some quite nice bits of dense woodland, mostly runnable and very little path running. Wasn't feeling quite fast or strong enough to really attack the course but quite happy with the way I ran as the week has been quite tiring. Lost three minutes on a slightly bingo pit and a few other minor 10-20 misses, but otherwise happy. Craney got around in a rather brisk 56. |

| Rivelin Dam. What's going on? It was dry, sunny and warm running today - even the usual muddy bits were dry - not that I'm complaining as it was a glorious morning to be out, cold in the shade though. Well tired from the past few days so it was a fairly slow jog. |

| Robin Hood Trophy; Sherwood with Budby. Surprisingly nice forest, easily the best NOC area that I've run on. Can't say the same about the mapping. Old Oaks rather randomly mapped and new felling around 3 completely wrong. Map printing was also awful, far to light - could hardly see light green - and some controls hard to find (not help by features being hidden under unbroken lines). All that side it was quite enjoyable, very happy with my running pace (if not my technical pace; lost about 4 minutes) and it was a cracking day to be running. Disappointed not to get under 5mpk though. Scotia had a fairly nippy run to get around in 65. |

| Stanage/Burbage trail run. Was thinking of doing the city sprint O that danger was planning but decided that I was too tired from last nights intervals. So stuck to the long run plan, but as I haven't done a long run for several weeks I kept it a bit shorter and stayed on trails. Great to be running normally again, had no problem today, was happy trotting along at an easy pace.

Very muddy, ran two loops and waited for partner to finish before starting the next. First intervals in a long, long time, felt very stiff but it was difficult to run due to the bog which is where the field used to be. |
