| Orienteering race 1:03:29 [5] | |
| |
| Spring Cup classic. OK run, lost a minute on number 9 (in the green) and a few other small misses added up to around 90 seconds maybe? Ran with Jenny Johansson with some of it and Signe Soes flew past me at 9.
Enjoyed it! Finished 10th. |

| JK Relay
Jo and Grace set me off nicely just down on Elise but unfortunately I couldn't do it on the day! Just a head at the radio control despite having missed a bit on 5 but then had a nasty gaffle (well that's my excuse). Had to really dig in to stick with Rach toward the end. Nice to see lots of Sheffielders on the podium!!! |

started a bit hesitantly but thought I was going OK until seeing Pippa infront of me at 6! Caught Grace there too. Ran with them for a bit until Pippa missed. I struggled a bit for the rest of the course as I thought Pippa was in front of me but looking at the splits I dug in pretty well. Lost a minute on each of the long legs though...

scrappy run. Similar to my World Cup run here but at least without the big mistake. Big hailstorm kicked off a few controls from the end - crazy!
Impressively close between the top 3! |

| JK Sprint.
Didn't get my head into it from the start. Realised when chatting through routes with Helen B and Pippa afterwards that I'd inadvertantly cheated by going through the 'bushes' 12-13 so disqualified myself. Not a good start to the weekend! |

| 4x 1k on the track. Great thunderstorm that luckily just about missed us although got soaked at the end of the first rep. Told Grace it's like that every week (think she thought I was joking but Kel could vouch for that!!).
Had a bad tummy beforehand so didn't think I'd manage anything. Pleased to just skip the last rep.
Got slower every rep: 3.34, 3.36, 3.38, ???

Knee felt OK afterwards. |

right knee a bit sore (has been a bit since Sat maybe) hopefully OK though and didn't really feel it tonight - just felt a bit 'funny'
Will have to be careful climbing tomorrow as I think that might be what has caused it... |
