| Road bike out the A57 to Ladybower and back over Burbage to Ringinglow and across to Redmires. About time we had a decent day and it was great to be out, felt pretty good although there was still a head wind all the way up the A57. Don't get out on my bikes enough - wobbly legs now :) |

| Score Event in Endcliffe Park. Not one of the targets of my season but Dad wanted a run around. Felt dead on the jog down but ok once warmed up, although I never pushed hard - really need to do a bit more of this sort of running. Did the controls in order to make he run a bit longer, as did Boyzone who took the same time. |

| Trail run 1:12:00 [2]13.1 km (5:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Trabuco 10 WR |
| Still no energy, starting to get worried, just not recovering from long sessions. Feel fine until I get my heart rate up and it only wants to go so far - I don't want to try pushing harder to see what happens but I think that I'll just have to have a few more easy days.
Wyming Brook to Stanage with Boyzone, wet and muddy with a cold wind, ran anti-clock so had a long hill. Not a nice day to be out.

| JK Day 4. Relay. Eridge Old Park. ShUOC 1st team with Camel, Wil Spain, Andy l and me. Camel had a great 1st leg coming back with the leader, Wil did well and Andy was also solid pulling us up a few positions. I made a mistake due to some rather dodgy mapping on the way to 2 and lost the guy I had started with. Another foreign team passed my on one of the brainless field runs, however as the snow fell and we got into the forest I some how came out in front of both of them (despite having two enforced map exchanges as my map ripped clean in two as I tried to get rid of the bag it was given to me in). Luckily I had the sorter gaffel over the last few controls and we finished a decent 6th (4th British team after a KOK 1-2). Good team performance i think. |

| Thought todays map was incredibly poor, especially on the vegetation mapping front - fine for a local event but when you have to pay an international standard entry fee I expect to get an international standard map. The area was dull (as was yesterdays), but that's more geography, but I was continually noticing things wrong with the map all the way around, and as for the use of the 'open land with scattered trees' symbol on the way to number two, what can I say? It was forest and I for one couldn't see a distinct vegetation boundary along the edge of it or tell when it changed from open with scattered tress to forest with undergrowth... Pants. |
