| Twin Peaks Day 2. High Dam again, but the Northern part. Wanted to eliminate the errors and use my compass more today. Not as scrappy as yesterday, but still one miss of note and a couple of dodgy route choices. Hot hot hot out on the fells. Overtook about 5 runners on the course today which felt good!
Second today, 45 secs down on Al, but happy enough. From the splits, I ran strongly in the middle section and won 6 legs in a row, but was slow to get started and hesitant on the slope at the end. |

| Twin Peaks Day 1 at High Dam. Hoped this would be relevant to Norway, and picked up a few things that should help over there. Started off a bit scrappy, but got into it in the middle section and was flowing nicely, running in control. Made a little wobble when I caught The Rooster up near the end.
2 mins down on Neil (but he cheated ;-)) and 3 mins down on Rob, but we all lost time. George Best should be well under 70.
Was using my compass well but need to use it more, especially on the slopes, and really need to think about visualisation of the control circles and descriptions. |

| It was such an amazing afternoon that I couldn't resist another run, and I needed to go to Wheelbase in Staveley for some bike gloves. Ran out and back along the river and it was gorgeous. |

| Hallamshire at Stockarth Park. Started off with a 4 minute hill interval, then 9 * 90 sec hill loops with 90 secs recovery. Was working really hard to try and keep on Rob. Then some short sprints to finish with. |

| Sprint races at Notre Dame school. Two loops planned by Clare, did A twice and B once. Enjoyed the courses and was running OK, but navigation scrappy. Find getting my head into orienteering hard on a weekday evening. |

| 25 min run with Rob before meeting Neil, then run to and from the orienteering and a bit of control collecting. |

| Track session. 5 * 500m with recovery of the time it took the girls to run 500m. Then a shuttle relay. Quite a short session tonight, which was good for me because I struggled. |

| Run from work to track with some random bloke who latched on to me and I couldn't get rid of, but he was nice enough. Then back home with Jen, hearing about all the Ukraine stuff. |

| Trunce 4. Much drier than race 3 and the river was low again. Just ran my pb again, but slowed down at the end. Fastest times so far through the intermediate splits. However, Rob Little keeps on beating his pb so my series plan is falling apart! |
