| DVO National Event - Longshaw. Cold day in the car park but not to bad once moving through the forest. Happy enough with the run, but tired on last hill, caught a rather ill looking Nails and had a good race with him for the last few km. Map felt like it hasn't been re-mapped in the past twenty years, very old fashioned and not very accurate, nice to get out for a good run though. |

| SHUOC Sprint prologue. On new map of Eccy woods by OJ, it was awesome, the only bit I recognised was the road crossing! A few small wobbles of several seconds and then a off line route and a bad miss towards the end, lost maybe 50 seconds, also never got up to full speed, but that's always difficult in terrain like this. A nice course, a lot of fun and surprised to be leading. |

| SHUOC Sprint final. Had a slight lead of Nick B (20 seconds) and Nails (30) so wanted to start well, didn't, didn't see the first control behind (a very small) boulder and got caught by Nick straight away, Nails reeled us in on the long path run to 2 and we spent the rest of the race swapping order as each of us took it in turns to make 2-3 second mistakes! Did lose a bit more on one, but so did the others. Decided to push it over the hill near the end and was glad the other two followed, got the smallest of leads and kept it over the last few controls. So much fun navigating on maps like this, everything was exactly as it should be. Excellent day all round apart from the rather minging weather, especially for the start of teh final. |

Wednesday Dec 5 |
| Terrain run 1:33:00 [2] | |
| |
| Stanage and Burbage in the bogs and heather with little Rob. Don't know what was up with Rob but he was quite a bit off pace so most of it turned out to be a slow trot through high heather. Mild but a very cold wind and getting dark at the end. Good to get out and do a good terrain session though. |
