| Crich Chase. Desperately tired but felt okay at the start, made it up two hills and then died after 20 minutes. Really had to fight hard to keep going in the rough and stoney terrain and had to walk the longer and steeper hills. Good physical session but couldn't really take full advantage, nice day and navigated cleanly apart from 15 and a minute or so on 16. Time for a sleep, good feed and some TV :) |

| Run up to Rivelin dam for the O event. Too early for running, felt horrible the whole way, windy as well, was wishing that I stayed in bed! |
| Orienteering race 23:47 [4]*** 2.7 km (8:49 / km) | |

| Norwegian event at Rivelin Dam. Was looking forward to running here as I've never even seen the map before. Unfortunately we only used a tiny bit of the woods and although it was map memory there was always a path nearby. Steep and rocky and good fun though and I felt a whole lot better as soon as I started orienteering :) |

| SHAFF race around the centre of Sheffield. A bit tired, windy, Saturday afternoon shoppers and match goers were my excuses! Good fun though. Got a good route without hardly any planning and only had trouble finding a few answers. One gate was locked by St George's church so not sure that I got the correct answer there and I'm not sure that I got the height right at No.3. Made a mess of routes to the controls around the Peace Gardens and Fargate and some of the routes were blocked off, probably about a minute of faffing. Route here for anyone who has run it already:

| 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. |

| Rivelin short loop. Dead (particularly my hamstrings from dynamic lunges) today so decided to take it very easy. Trotted around in the wind and occasional sun putting no particular effort in. Grand day out. |

| Shuttle runs removed so all cardio exercises now involve jumping of some sort. Didn't feel very strong but the session went very quickly and I was expecting more. |
