| Harvester, Some forest in the south. Not a bad place (aside form very suspect vegetation mapping (did anyone see a distinct vegetation change???) - very happy not to have run in the dark!) and a pretty good night and lovely morning. Ran last leg for ShUOC so was up early in the sun. Ran quite well and was very happy to catch the two teams in front by about 7 and 10 minutes or so (one being FVO...) on the climbs in the last loop to finish 4th. Really enjoyed the run but was a little tired after yesterdays madness. |

| JOK chasing Sprint, Bloom Wood. Prologue. Fast and pretty easy, although it was a nice wood. Had no problems aside form number two (in a small depression) being on the ground and I couldn't see it, lost about 40 seconds. Otherwise just not fast enough and was nearly 4 minutes down on a very brisk Nails and in 13th place. |

| JOK Chasing Sprint. Final. Bloom Wood. Mad pack hunting. Caught and got caught very quickly so was in a small pack from the start. Missed three but so did others, so caught the pack of three in front and another one or two from behind caught up. Struggle to keep up in the fast easy bits and got pulled off line on the long leg and got stuck in green. Got out the other side to reassemble the train but now with a few more carriages on the back. Got passed by a few more on the way to the spectator but then the engine and first few carriages took a path route and I decided to cut the corner, it worked, got to the control first which was very useful as it turned into a massive pile-on! Hesitated slightly going into the 3rd last control (the thicket was slight to the right of where it should have been) by about 2 seconds which was enough to lose two places and have to fight for the single punch. Got the paces back by cutting the track bed to the second last but again had to fight for the single punch and lost the places back again. Had no speed for the final sprint so dropped another place to finish 12th.
Not an especially clean run and it hurt quite a bit, but fun nonetheless. |

| Eccy Woods event. Managed to get Chris and Matt out to join me - they both did very well in a pretty difficult area, although Matt was getting very frustrated and getting lost every time he tried to run (which was all he wanted to do). I took it very easy myself, didn't feel like running hard so didn't! No real problems other than when a surfaced path caught me out as it wasn't mapped so, lost about a minute there (had no compass so spent a while trying to line things up) and aside from taking an age to punch the map each control, no other problems. It's great to orienteer on OJ's map - everything looks how you expect it to and is where you want it to be. |

| ShUOC circuits. Body tired so took it very easy, especially on the cardio exercises. Not many around this evening, which was good as it was hot enough as it was. |
| Mountain Bike 1:45:00 [2]28.5 km (3:41 / km) | |

| Chris talked Matt and me into joining him on a bike ride, so headed out to Stanedge pole, down the rocky track to the Buck stone and back over Burbage bridge, a loop in Lady Canning's and back across to Lodge Moor. Yet another beautiful evening so had to go and and knew the pace would be easy. Was a lot of craic with plenty of stops and messing around. Still tired though. |
