| Orienteering race 57:10 [5]***** 7.9 km (7:14 / km) +415m 5:44 / km | |
| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| BUSA individual. Steep and rough forest much to my liking, very hard to maintain a good pace (slippery and a lot of fallen trees). Section on open moor was somewhat more dull and more about speed. Map a bit doggy in areas and lost a few seconds on two controls because of this, good course though. FInished third less than 30 seconds behinf Oleg and a further 2 mins down on Oli. Happy with result there were quite a few runners quite close behind me. |

| Quite an easy run around the hills in Carsick (exploring - very nice). Still feeling very flat, guess tow days of standing doesn't help. |

| Run up Black Tor and a loop around the back from Strines. Felt so flat today which was a shame as once the cloud burnt off it was a smashing day. Perhaps I need more protein or carbs in my diet and less sugar and fat... |

| Orienteering near Leeds. Didn't feel great, a bit stiff after such a lazy week. Ran ok but without any agression. Quite a dull area, quite rough open and a steep bit of wood. Poor map and desperate printing. |

| shoes: Asics Gel GT 2100 |
| 1 hour score around the city centre as part of ShAFF. Intoducede Matt to Oing, ran together. Difficult to ge any flow with so many short legs and answers to write down. Took a penalty and got all the controls, after all, it was for fun. It was No.8 right in the middle that was the only really awkward decision. |

| Rivelin with Shane. Straight up the hill from the river. Felt flat for the first half but managed a decent effort on the hills. Had to get out to get rid of the frustration of the rugby results - a last minute try in both games cost the 6 nations. |

| Nearly gave them a miss as I was spent from the last hill when I got home. Got on ok once I recovered though. |

| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| National event, Whitbarrow, Lakes. Ran quite well considering how I felt yesterday and was shocked with position (4th, just over two minutes down on OJ), especially as I made a large mistake. The forest bit was awesome, the open very fast and easy. |

| Usuall warming up and down for circuits with a bit of stretching. |
| Circuits 45:00 [4] | |
| |
| Still a bit off colour from last weeks cold, suffered on the arm exercises but in general wasn't too bad a session. Changed to doing 5 sets of exercises at each station in stead of 6, made it harder as there were more cardio ones and therefore more time spent out of breath. |
